Python is particularly good at data visualization. I made a submission to the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) Data Visualization challenge and won 3rd place with this:

Used Python to do some data cleaning, preparing, and graphing:

Spaghetti code (and I've commented it before) but: https://github.com/devenblake/ytfeed.py. A YouTube-specific RSS feed reader; you give it some channel IDs (usually a string starting with UC at the end of a youtube.com/channel/ link) and it will allow you to view the most recent videos, keep track of watched videos, etc. Built it because I despise the new YouTube interface and they're preparing to remove the ?disable-polymer=1 trick that lets you keep the old interface. I use it as my main YouTube client and really enjoy it but it's also nice as a playground to do weird stuff with Python.
