As a die-hard C programmer.

For tools and toys that are not performance sensitive, python is great. It's a lot more expressive and requires a lot less boilerplate code.

I've re-written projects from C->Python before and had them work with 30% the number of LoC. I've re-written projects from Python->C before and had a 10-fold speed increase.

Right tool for the right job and all that...
