As someone once said, "Python isn't the best language for anything, but it's the second-best language for almost everything".
If we don't get hung up on the exact literalness of that statement, there's a lot of truth to it. Being essentially a "lingua franca" that's easy to pick up has accelerated it in various seemingly unrelated fields. This, I assume, it to the seeming detriment of use-case specific languages like Julia.
