It might not be the best place to ask, but there's not harm in asking. :) It's a question of many answers that is ultimately in the eye of the beholder. My take on it is that scripting is automating some software, such as Maya, whereas programming is writing the software itself. The subtlety to me is that automating some software is what you could say that you are doing to the compiler software with a language such as C, which would make that scripting as well under that metric. And in fact there are "scripting" implementations of languages that you would typically not associate with scripting. Python then is used to both automate and write software, which would make it both a scripting and programming language.
It's a question for the philosophers, but hope it helps!
