I wanted to know
Python is suited for what kind of applications? 
I am new to Python world but I know it's a scripting language like Perl but I was not sure about the kind of applications which one would build using Python and would certainly appreciate if someone can provide some useful information.
Most of the 3d packages these days, such as Maya, SoftImage, Houdini, RealFlow, Blender, etc. all use Python as an embedded scripting and plugin language.
What kind of applications are built using Python?
