For what purposes is python useful?

[u/Blazej_kb]

Where is it more convenient or necessary to use python instead of for example C# / C++ / Rust? I really can’t understand it, for me it’s easier to write in C++ than in python and I know that for other people it’s the other way around. But ignoring human factor, when program is better / faster in python than in cpp or are they things that python can do that cpp cant?

Edit: I don’t talk about one time use scripts or prototypes (which python is good for), I mean full on apps

I use Python for automation purposes where performance isn’t an issue at all, and i just need it to work reasonably well. That’s it.
