The first killer app for Python was running Fortran code from within Python. People use Python for both pre- and post-processing. For small jobs, this enabled running Fortran interactively. This lead to Numerical Python, now Numpy, SciPy, and later Sage and other scientific and Python packages. I believe SciPy has an f2py (fortran to py) module to help with running Fortran under Python (but it has been years since I read the details). Detailed questions might get better answers on, for instance, a scipy list. -- Terry Jan Reedy
