I think one big factor is easy entry but almost no limit:
Like BASIC back in the day it's a language that allows newcomers to do things long before they are comfortable with the added syntax requirements of C based languages
Despite that the sky is the limit, almost all problems a developer will encounter can be tackled with python. Yes for many problems there are languages that are better suited for the task, but in most cases a project does never even reach a state where that will matter.
And it's installed by default in many Linux distributions.
