Just to express my opinion on the matter which is cannot stress enough, Python does not only come with the kitchen sink, it comes with a very useful kitchen sink, most of the standard library modules are very useful and not just random additions, I take for example a comparision against C#, I had to process some XML files from email attachments, you cannot do this in C# out of the box (there is no pop3 or imap library, only XML handling), in python there is buildin pop3 module and xml processing, thus the time I invest on looking for a C# pop3 library (or creating my own) I already got it done with python and core modules, plus there is a standard way of searching, getting and installing modules which makes developing with python a bliss.
To sum up, python is also different because there is a large amount of libraries and code to harness, making it easy to work with, fast to develop and flexible enough to cover different application types.
