Right, I think this is the main appeal of Python and the reason why it gets commonly used for scientific calculation.

Often for research, one needs to create code that will be used for a limited period of time, having only one user - the researcher itself. So this is an ideal use case for Python, since one does not want to spend a lot of time writing code that will get thrown out eventually.
