Some people think that only compiled languages are true programming languages. (Needless to say, they're wrong.)

Yeah, once you know all the details, the distinction disappears. The term doesn't clarify understanding.

If I had to make a distinction, it'd be that scripting languages are meant to be a simple way to serve a specific niche. Things like SQL or Excel formulas. It doesn't apply to Python.
