I think it's uncommon for an application to be programmed entirely in Python. It's common to use C/C++ to accelerate performance critical parts of the code. I don't see that as a weakness of Python. The developer uses whichever tools work best for the task at hand.

Calibre is a popular e-book manager/converter created by Kovid Goyal. It's mostly written in Python, with some C extensions for speedups (e.g. SQLite database access) and interfacing to OS APIs for fonts, USB devices, etc:
