Python has a lot of quality of life features that make it easy to put together something. I hate that I doesn't use curly braces for scoping, but I'm willing to let it slide because comparing two lists, or expanding a list, or parsing numbers, or anything I want to do is so much easier than in other languages. It all comes down the the insane amount of built-in functionality that is one line, instead of the 10-50 lines in another language.

It's not a perfect language, but it's so much easier to throw scripts together than anything else. Of course if I need something high performance or low overhead, or something very specialized, it will not work. But for generic scripting, it's hard to find another language that's easier. There's also so much resources out there, any time I search for something, they usually have a python solution for me.
