Pretty much any programming task, except perhaps those that require
extreme computation speed (like weather modeling).

Easy to read, easy to write, good libraries and, I have found, an
extremely helpful community.

Hobbyists (like me) can work on projects written in Python on and off
(sometimes for weeks if not months without programming) and be able to
resume the work very quickly (because it's so easy to read and
understand the code).
