What would be your answer if this question is asked to you in an

a modified version might be:
"Where would you use python over C/C++/Java?"
(because my resume says I know C/C++/Java)?
I would say where I can, where 'can' is depending on the problem,
already implementations and requirements.
On the other hand, when I go to a restaurant I usually don't tell the
chef which brand of knives he has to prepare my meal with, even though I
prefer Globals knives for my own use.

'If consumed, best digested with added seasoning to own preference.'
here's what i tell employers and potential employers for next gig;
i go to the job like the plumber; i have a toolbox full of hardware and
software of my design that i use to solve client problems. what i dislike is
the fact that some employers ONLY want to use python and nothing else. while i
can appreciate the point that they are trying to get across, the fact is that
solving real world problems sometimes takes other languages and approaches that
cannot be easily done or not done at all in python.
instead, to be efficient, it is best to combine tools to solve problems that
contain complexities where there is nothing available off the shelve that does
the job. c# is free, free VS studio, i can run ironpython there, i can do
python there, and talk to linux boxes with python, i can run c# on linux boxes
using mono(did that back in 2004 and thereafter for a while). i can run python
on my beaglebone black inside of snappy ubuntu, ect.
so i ask those employers why not use what is available to solve problems
instead of limiting yourself to just one???
I'm not quite sure why you've replied to a five year old thread, but I'd
suggest that the employers' main concern is Total Cost of Ownership.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
