 I imagine that there is some English as a second language getting
 involved and the intent of the question was more like What is
 python useful for on Windows?, which has pretty much the same
 meaning but is open to a slightly friendlier interpretation(i.e.,
 tell me how I can use python instead of tell me why I should use
 python).

 The other question might be more like I already know VBS, what do I
 gain by learning python?.

 (the answers could be lots of things, including full applications
 and among other things, you can use it on other platforms, and you
 might prefer the syntax.)

Answer, reasons to learn another scripting language;
It provides different techniques to problems,
It is eaiser and clearer to write with a strong community to aid
developers,
Problems can be scaled,
There are a lot of high scale Python projects.

Hope that helped.

There are lots of bigger projects to work on. Check out Spambayes, the
original bittorrent, or Zope for some of the more well known ones.

Python is a general purpose programming language like Java,
Smalltalk, Pascal, etc.

Its purpose is to allow a user to quickly write readable and
easily maintained programs.

 Cna you please help me with this,

Only you know whether/why you need to learn something.

 Is there a possibilty to work on bigger projects with Python

Yes.
