I assume you are not kidding about the apps.  IMHO smart (a package updater 
written in python) save the recent release of SUSE 10.1 since no one could 
get Yast to work properly.  I'd guess there are thousands of app's both for 
GUI and the web. It is my understanding that many of the KDE 4 apps will be 
written in Python.  Python uses wxPython (wxWidgets) and pyQT (QT) for all 
the platforms.  So in one sense Python's GUI is more up today than Lazarus's 
GTK1.  As a replacement Python only lacks a complete IDE.  I would think the 
Python community would argue that an IDE is a tool not needed.  I of course 
disagree.  The only thing Python lacks is a proper compiler in all other 
points it is a very close match (as I think many other OOP lang's would be).
