I don't have any dearth of Python needs ( I now, sort of pay my tuition through Python :-) ). But I use it for fun as well, say gaming. For example, I have scripts that send keystrokes based on voice commands or other keystrokes.
Having a productive language like Python at your disposal can help automate many of your day to day tasks. http://www.python.org/doc/essays/cp4e.html Besides, it's a lot easier (and fun) to write code for yourself than to make it to distribute to others. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
