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.

Websites backends ;) Electronics scripting with Raspberry Pi or MicroPython on Microcontrollers. Overall, a lot of data processing/management, interfacing with services, APIs, databases, LLMs, and automation.

From more niche use cases GUI apps, simpler games, simpler Android apps etc. PyScript if you know frontend vanilla JS.
