I dont want to write a realtime operatingsystemkernel in python damnit! As much as i want to write a webbsite in ASM.

Most languages has their pros and cons. What is the best is not an absolute, what you want it for is a major factor.

But for casual development. Like small apps, Webbsites and small 2d games. Python has a clear advantage. Atleast for me.

I would agree with Smygis, any language obviously has its ups and downs. Python's strengths to me are that it's platform independent, can be written in a very human-readable manner (if you don't use too many list comprehensions/slicings) and has a very good OO model. Running tests on a given block of code is also easier in Python due to the __name__ trick. Its disadvantages to me are that threading is finicky, it's slower than a compiled langauge, and the documentation isn't as good as, say, Java.
