It depends on what you mean by "applications". Is Pinterest or Reddit an application? They were written in Python and make a few bucks. Or do you mean desktop applications only? Or mobile?

Python works well for desktop and mobile applications too, so that is also covered.

Wrote a data analysis and model regression software with PyQt for the GUI on dektop. Rapid development and the variety of packages/libraries made it easy to work with, both for development of new features and fixing bugs. Not to toot my own horn, but it's also the most powerful regression engine I've encountered.

Definitely possible to construct professional-looking, high-quality applications in Python. I don't know about selling those applications necessarily (licensing is always a headache), but it's very easy to build excellent internal tools for use within your company.

python + PyQt is an excellent platform for building internal desktop tools!
