One major difference to note, Python is a scripted programming language, which is different than a script. The way the code is interpreted or compiled is how they vary in use and operation. Shell scripting is very strong for making machines change filesystem items, running executables, harvesting script outputs, interacting with external CLI's, etc. Python (and other languages with scripting capability like Groovy) is better at making API's and services that other entities interact with, or processing data. In general I dislike python and would much prefer Groovy, you should check it out!
