The thing thats awesome about Python:

You get to learn about:

- Using Python to compute gravitational positions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGVBo6JJa6M

- Using Python to devise trading strategies to beat S&P 500: https://us.pycon.org/2016/schedule/presentation/1697/

- Using Python to do advance statistics: https://us.pycon.org/2016/schedule/presentation/1576/

- Using the dynamic features of Python in code real time to debug hard problems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XvAVgcbmdY

And many such diverse areas, even though you might be just toiling away to store and obtain some data in a database. Opens up horizons and makes you feel empowered.

On the other hand, some other programming communities are too obsessed with their testing frameworks and task runners.
