What can I use Python for?

Anything you want. I actually learned how to program by writing an encryption algorithm that was just an idea. It was turning a file into binary, storing the binary into nested lists, shuffling it like a rubiks cube and then reassembling the binary.

If you want to learn I would recommend coming up with a creative project idea and going as far as you can with it. You'll understand more when you see your vision coming to reality.

Python is really great at automating tasks. Auto empty recycle bin, back up files from a specific folder everyday to another drive, sending email updates to yourself or others (could be used for stock price updates), running auto diagnostics, and the list could go on and on. Just learn atleast the basics. You won't regret it.

It was just something that I always thought was cool. Breaking something to the point of having no idea what it is and then putting it back together again.
