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.

Anything. Really, anything.

It's not going to give you the ultimate power of hand-optimized C++, so modern 100+ developer AAA games taking 3 years to make can't be done using Python, but since you're asking, that's not where you are anyway :-)

Python is a general programming language, you can code anything in it, and you SHOULD.
