While I use more than just Python in my work, it remains my go-to toolset for a range of tasks. For instance, Python offers the best interactive programming experience of any language today. You can step through code flow and inspect values with great ease. This is particularly valuable during prototyping, as you are getting a handle on interactions between your application and third party dependencies. Further, as designs take shape, you can quickly assemble a proof of concept and learn how to address a problem or design. Python can be used with little or any inheritance. Adopt a compositional style. You can assign types. You don't need to use all of its bells and whistles if you don't want to. This allows you to use Python in a way that streamlines it for porting to a strongly typed, high performance language such as Rust, should the need or desire to do so ever arise.
The Python community is truly global, hosting local events in hundreds of countries. So many talented, helpful people have been dedicated to the language and community over a very long period of time. Look at its ecosystem on GitHub to get an idea of how that manifests. Questions about how to solve a problem are often a single search away from being answered on Stack Overflow, Google groups and countless channels on Freenode IRC. Python conferences are a great place to learn and connect.
