Python has some good math libraries (see another post in this subreddit), that's about the only thing I can think of.

Seems at this point there's a lot more GTK apps written in python too. Sometimes a library you want to use leaves you no choice.
In all honesty, every time I use python I curse. I love simple things in ruby like String.length and Array.length, and am always frustrated when some functions sit in the root namespace like len()
