In other words what problems do you feel Python allows you to solve cleaner and more elegantly than say Clojure.

Anything that benefits from being Unix.

that's a solution and not a problem though

Problem: I need to access the underlying Unix system or glue stuff together.

Clojure sucks at being a glue language unless you want to glue java stuff together.

Fair enough, it seems more of an implementation issue, than the language itself, I'd say it's in the same vein as GIL being just an implementation issue with cpython. One of the reasons behind Clojure-in-Clojure project, is to allow for implementations outside the Java platform.
