From the O'Reilly book "Learning Python" by Lutz & Ascher:

Python Versus Similar Tools
....
Doesn't compete head-on with Java; Python is a scripting language,
Java is a systems language such as C++

Not all "tools" are hammers, saws, or screwdrivers; not all "commonly
used programming tools freely available on Linux" are suitable for any
particular job.
