Honestly, I'm not really a fan of the formatting and syntax of Python but I agree, it is a fine choice for scripting things quickly if you don't mind the language itself.

The biggest issue I have with it are all the incompatible versions, juggling modules, having some other random thing with a ridiculous configuration, where a bash script would be infinitely easier. Anything more complicated and Python is just too much of a headache.
