Fortran vs Python - Newbie Question

[Sells, Fred]

1. Python is fun!
2. Python is cool!
3. Most of the time you can google a solution, i.e. somebody has already
done nearly everything you can think of.

OK...
I've been told that Both Fortran and Python are easy to read, and are
quite useful in creating scientific apps for the number crunching, but
then Python is a tad slower than Fortran because of its a high level
language nature, so what are the advantages of using Python for
creating number crunching apps over Fortran??
Thanks
Chris
