Newbie Here

[Rob Cowie]

As a relalative newbie myself I think I can say Python is used for
anything any major programming language is used for. One of its many
strengths is scalability - it can be used to great effect as a
scripting language AND as an object oriented language for creating
large, GUI apps.

Yours is not an easy question to answer - there are as many uses for
python as there are 'computing tasks'.
