Deb,
For starters most of the Google enterprise runs on python.

develop web applications on Google

There are many applications ranging from web frameworks to math modules.

BFG<http://static.repoze.org/bfgdocs/>,
Pylons <http://pylonshq.com/>, Turbo Gears <http://turbogears.org/>,
CherryPy <http://www.cherrypy.org/>
NumPy <http://numpy.scipy.org/> for math/physics.
Plone <http://plone.org/> is a content management system used by many
schools and governments.

Documents<http://docs.python.org/>,
Python Enhancement Proposals <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/>,
Community<http://www.python.org/community/>and the Python
