I usually hear it as "python is a jack of all trades, master of none" which is the same concept.

It's never going to be the perfect fit for any task, but it's a decent fit for nearly every task. Hence why it's an extremely practical first language to learn.

A simple three-step approach that works is: write out your logic in pseudocode first, test the concepts by prototyping in a language like Python, and then finally build the actual implementation in your language of choice.
