Is Python used in BIM?

Excuse me, I was wondering if you could clarify something for me. I've been hearing a lot about BIM, or Building Information Modeling, in the industry lately, and I'm curious about the tools and technologies used in this field. Specifically, I've been wondering if Python is used in BIM at all? I've heard that Python is a versatile language with many applications, so I'm interested to know if it has found a place in the world of BIM as well. Thanks for your time!
