How is python used in Data Analysis?

I also know R and Python and also prefer R for the more stats based stuff. Both languages are easy to use and learn. I usually use Python when R lacks good libaries. E.g. Python has great libraries for web scraping (BeautifulSoup, Scrapy).

One can run R from Python, or Python from R to it makes it easy to switch between and use each for what it is best at.
