To me, "scripting" means writing code that's not intended for re-use.
The compiled / interpreted distinction is sort of unimportant - I certainly wouldn't refer to myself as a "Python programmer", because all I do is use matplotlib to make figures for publication, but the guys and gals who wrote matplotlib are most certainly "Python programmers" in my book.
