WordPress tends to have way more features than you'll probably need, but is otherwise excellent. I do find it somewhat frustrating when someone asks me to set up a WordPress site for them and then uses something else to blog, though. It's not all that different from putting a website together from scratch if you design your theme from scratch; I usually start with a static html site to get the layout right, then convert it to a WP-friendly format.
What you really don't want is to be the only person who can update the site. Then you'll get urgent emails months later when you're in the middle of 10 other projects saying that you need to put something up THAT weekend. This can also happen if you, say, decide to design a CMS from scratch.
There are plenty of good CMSes that aren't WordPress. I imagine there are some that are written in Python too; I just can't think of any right now.
