I can think of no better example of "Python as glue" than this here commit on one of my game projects, in which I took locale files from one game (LaserTank) and converted them for use in a remake of said game (LaserTank Improved). This is such a common development task, and one highly suitable for automation, that using Python seemed too logical to NOT do... here is the commit in question.

Python is so flexible that I use it as development glue

I've done similar tasks with Perl in the past, but I might use Python in the future just judging by how hard the Perl code is to understand after writing it.
