There's so much it's difficult to cut it down.
+ Google uses Python heavily
+ Zope - application server
and just a couple of random picks I have never seen before until I
went looking just now ...
http://free-cad.sourceforge.net/
http://imgseek.sourceforge.net/index.html
Tools:
Cross platform GUI libraries including TK, WxWindows, QT, GTK
Database access for MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL, Firebird, SQLite, Sybase,
PostgreSQL etc etc
A dozen or so good/excellent IDE's

Some of the people using Python:
http://www.python.org/community/users.html
Yahoo, Google, Walt Disney, Industrial Light and Magic, NASA. IBM,
Red Hat, SGI.
How does Euphoria compare?
In reality these types of lists can be created for Java, C, C++ COBOL,
Perl, and probably a dozen other languages. The point I'm getting to
though is it's possible and proven.
I don't know how this topic actually came up (probably by me ;) ) but
I've always said if anyone is happy with Euphoria then that's great
and you should continue. If not I'd look to languages / tools that
have a good track record.
All the best,
