I guess Python might have some use among Linux/Unix (server) malware creators. Those systems often have Python interpreter installed (unlike Windows), might be non-x86, might have slight differences in APIs (BSD vs Linux vs HP-UX...) and system level access may not be very necessary. Just my 2cents.
AFAIR, some Linux malware was deployed as a Bash script that downloaded and compiled the actual malware source using GCC already installed on the system. :D
