its exponentially easier for a black man to fuck your wife with python
Probably nothing unless you want more specific uses (data science). I find Python much more pleasant to work with than Bash, but that's likely because I learnt it first and have never sat down and taken the time to fully learn Bash.

literally nothing
Don't. Learn Racket instead (there's even a#lang pythonif you need it).

it's simpler and more elegant than perl and handles binary data and complex code better than bash

1)You can make lots of neat little tools with ease
2)You can script pentest attacks and develop security tools
3) Machine learning
4)Easy automation of tasks
5) General use language for virtually anything, great for mockups and demonstrating algorithms
