Yes. It’s easy to learn, quick to write and massively extensible.

It creates slow and inefficient programs, but in an awful lot of use cases these days that’s not really important. Old school programmers are generally way too obsessed with everything they write being elegant and well-optimised.

Nothing wrong with lower level languages and they’re fundamental tools in certain use cases and careers, but Python is still the best Swiss Army knife going around. Always good to own one, even if you have to learn to use a scalpel as well.
