Well you could try PyPi, or even a search on googlecode.

What do you mean by commercial, and why?

So, you want us to believe that you desperately want to pay someone
for working Python software, but are finding it hard to find some?

All over the place.

There are a lot of commercial programs written in Python. But any
company which thinks it has a lock on some kind of super secret sauce
isn't going to use Python, because it's very easy to reverse engineer
even compiled Python programs. Also, any company in a competitive
market where execution speed is extremely important might choose some
other language because, frankly, the fact that a development tool is
highly productive is not something that the end user directly cares
about. (But the up-front choice of another language simply for speed,
rather than prototyping with Python and then recoding the slow bits,
would probably be a decision borne of ignorance.)

Absolutely. I've been using it heavily for 11 years, for real work,
for which I get paid.

What makes you think that it's not? Is this some kind of "big lie"
strategy? To what end?

It's hard to help when you don't describe the problem. Reading
between the lines, the most charitable and probable interpretation of
your problem I can come up with is that you think you're going to
create a multi-billion dollar computer program and you're desperately
trying to validate your preconceived notion that Python isn't the
language to write it in. Sorry, but I can't help with that.
