I discovered Python 5 years ago and I remember very well that what 
attracted me first was indentation. I had learnt JavaScript and 
rudiments of Java and couldn't decide on a consistent way of indenting 
my code, so it looked rather ugly and difficult to read. The first 
Python programs I saw struck me for the beauty of their graphical design 
(the use of lowercase letters also counts)

As a learned the language itself I was attracted for the same reasons as 
the ones already given (simplicity, built-in types, list 
comprehensions...), but I still feel the same aesthetic pleasure every 
time I open a Python program to work on it
