This just makes me shudder a little bit. I've seen such things before, even recently at my current job. These kinds of applications tend to be a nightmarish mix of unmaintainably overengineered and underdesigned terrible code.

The key thing is that the testing, release and deployment tooling were not a significant bottleneck. You could develop the code, perform testing in a production like environment and sign it off with a minimum of down time in between waiting for compilation, package building, etc. So a lot of that was down to Python being interpreted.
