A little research of yourself would tell you all you need to know, but
I'm happy to give my informed opinion ;-)

Web development is one area where Python really shines. Almost all of
the Python users I know personally use it for web development.

My biggest webapp was build an online shop system with Python and
MySQL. From scratch, with its one templating system (of course),
dynamic site navigation and all that stuff. Development time was only
some 6 to 8 weeks.

All the rest at http://www.python.org/topics/web/

It's possible, but people using it for this are certainly a minority
among Python developers.
