[Tutor] Question from a newbie

[Deb]

My son suggested I play around with Python.  I was wondering if anybody has
any real life applications?  It appears to be able to do quite a lot, but is
anybody really doing it with Python?  I am very curious about this language.
 I used to be a Clipper programmer in another life (dBASE compiler), and got
sick when I was just entering the OOP world via Visual Basic and had to quit
  I just recently got my brain back, thanks to medical science, and would
like to learn all I can about what it out there these days.
 
Thanks,
