I also like the fact the the core language is very compact. I only code a few times a month and am not a particularly good programmer (at least in my opinion), so not having a humongous core language to remember is a plus. I was always stifled in C by the amount of stuff I had to remember.
With a small core language and a great Library Reference, Python doesn't make me feel stupid... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
