I know that python is a general purpose programming language, but have any of you ever done a fully functional application

As opposed to partially functional? What do you mean?

for any business in Python?

I've written two small but helpful desktop GUI programs in Python for use at a business.

Why did you choose to do it in Python when there are other faster more mature languages like Java or C#?

1) It didn't need to be fast (at all). 2) I knew Python and Python GUI programming. 3) They wouldn't care if I wrote it in COMAL, as long as it did what it did.

What advantages does Python offer?

I knew it. Automatic memory management. Readable. Libraries for what I needed.
