The real power of python comes from it's simplicity. It is a easy to learn, easy 
to read and easy to program in language. It is great at providing powerful 
programming constructs in a beautifully simple manner.

While other languages might seem simpler, they won't offer the same power 
whereas those that might be powerful don't match python's simplicity.

All kinds of applications. Since it is a general purpose language with a rich 
standard library and also tons of freely available third party libraries.
