It's the absolute best tool for "I need to programmatically do <thing> and will never touch this script again" or "I want to build a tiny utility app for myself and myself alone, and I don't want to have to pull in ANY dependencies or do ANY build steps"
I have literally used it instead of writing a curl one liner because I didn't feel like looking up the arguments.
Python is incredible for building tools, exactly like a small time machinist might build certain cutters for a part they are manufacturing, or a blacksmith build tools, or a welder building a jig, etc etc
I cannot fathom when people choose to build heavyweight or long lived applications and business products with it. Django is alright I guess, except that complicated database stuff will cause you problems eventually, and migrations are a lot of fuss for not as many guarantees as you would hope for the effort.
