Both. Especially if you define the terms "object oriented" and
"scripting" in terms of positive space (attributes that are present)
instead of negative space (attributes that are not present).
Python has all of the important features of OOP, but lacks some of the
imposed constraints that some consider to be part of the definition of
OOP (I personally do not consider the constraints to be central to a
useful definition of OOP)
Python has all of the important features that one would want in a
scripting language (although it has a larger memory footprint than some
scripting languages), but lacks many of limitations associated with "toy
languages".
Python is somewhat unique in it's ability to fill both of these areas so
well without being unnatural. In my opinion, it is extremely useful to
have one language that serves as both a highly scalable full-featured
OOP language and as an extremely simple scripting language, because it
allows one to build a large complex system within which one can easily
do scripting tasks.
Proof that python is a scripting language:
print "Hello world"
Proof that python is an OOP language benefiting from scripting capabilities:
Django comes to mind. There are hundreds of others out there, but
instead of listing them, I think I will get back to programming.
