How do you define "production application" though? Customer facing? Running 24/7 to keep systems alive? Python is great for making scripts, e.g. to process logs or quickly analyse and plot data for example. I've seen so many of these Python scripts and internal apps that are critical to customer support and keeping other systems healthy. They might not be in the critical path but they help with and speed up work.
