The Zope web site has many examples.

But it depends how you define large scale. Most of the really big ones 
(Google,
Yahoo, IBM, BBC etc - anything with several million hits a day)  use 
Java or C++
in my experience. But a lot of large and busy sites do exist using one 
or other
of the Pyhon web frameworks, check the frameworks and you will find 
case
histories.

And even the biggest sites often use languages like Python etc for
experimental features or occasional access areas or for administration
or test duties. One of the good things abourt web developments is that
its pretty easy to mix frameworks and have it appear seamless to the 
user.
