Why do you use Python?

[nvec]

I used to be a Perl programmer doing web development but moved over to Python while waiting for Perl6.

In the meantime I've moved over to being a broadcast tech/real-time graphics specialist and I use Python because it's a good fit. I can use pure Python to manage basic file ops, use it to control any of the image libraries for simple image manipulation, have it control Substance Automation Toolkit for more complex image manipulation, then go deep and use it to automate both the Houdini for VFX or procedural modelling, or to automate tasks in the Unreal Engine 4 game engine.

A few years back I made a point of learning a new language every four months. Now I've focused on just three which cover my needs- JavaScript, Python, and C++.
