I haven't used Python yet however I would certainly give it a go. I believe the Dropbox backend is written in Python, although it is being migrated to go. Dropbox was supporting some 300 million users and many, many more folders and files including sharing. That seems pretty industrial strength to me. From the font of all knowledge:

Quote:
Originally, both the Dropbox server (running on the cloud) and desktop client software were primarily written in Python. From mid-2013 Dropbox began migrating its backend infrastructure to Go. The desktop client uses Python GUI toolkits such as wxWidgets and Cocoa. Other notable Python libraries include Twisted, ctypes, and pywin32.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
