"Why Python" by Eric Raymond in Linux Journal is what started my love of python for me before Ruby or JavaScript outside of the browser were even a thing.
A python script easily outperformed a bash shell script + shell commands for processing text and automating tasks.
Most Linux system administration with Python is just so much easier than any other way, that was after I tried doing the same with Perl which was awful in terms of readbility just a few days after the script was written.
