I think Python shines as an interactive calculator, eg an iPython REPL. Calculations, plotting etc. Or for website backends since Django is very nice. Or scripting OS tasks like file manipulation etc.

For full projects outside websites, Rust for almost every case.

Funnily enough, a REPL environment is in the works for Rust: https://github.com/google/evcxr

I could get down with that, although my experience with the Python REPLs has been a mixed bag. Specifically, you can't easily deal with async stuff IIRC (not sure if that's been fixed or not).

I like Octave (gnu matlab) for that.
