Coming directly from Python official website at Python Programming Language -- Official Website

"Python® is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days. Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of higher quality, more maintainable code."

Python requires you to write in a certain syntax and it allows you to write code 5-10 times faster than most languages. (this is most especially talking about C++ and Java) Python is a language that you can read and understand what other people have written. Python is usually compared to Perl, but unlike Perl where they say "There is more than one way to write it", Python says "There should only be one, obvious way to write it".
