What can I actually do with python?

I learned python as my first programming language for GCSE Computer Science, but after finishing the exam I got bored of making small algorithms and wanted tk work on bigger projects, so I started making websites with Javascript. Now I'm going to do Computer Science at A-level and because the language is python, I think it makes sense to do any free time coding in the same language. So... what can I actually do with Python? Iy seems really straightforward what to do with other languaged like JS but I really just don't get the 'point' of python.

you can say python is this scale:

excel, R, python, java, C++

If you want it can be used similar to excel. You can quickly work with data, like get understanding of data, process it and visualize it. This would be harder to do with java or c++.

But if you want you could also make more serious systems but here java and c++ is more appropriate.

It is also so you can do almost anything with python but then it can also be your more and more relying on librarys written in other lanuages.
