My opinion: Python may not be the best at everything it does, but it's in the top 3-5 languages in the following areas:

Very easy to install, write and understand
Great libraries for a lot of applications
Large community, lots of people with experience in it

It will always be a practical choice for those reasons. There are probably a lot more as well that I can't think of at the moment.

Very easy to install

This has to be a joke.

Yeah, thought the same. Python isn't intuitive to install new packages.
