Two large companies with lots of python code are dropbox and youtube:

- Frameworks/tools like func, fabric or ipython are used in medium and
large networks/"clouds". 
- Python is also used a lot for admin tasks instead of shell scripts. 
- I know IBM WebSphere is not the favorite choice as an application server
for most Java programmers *g*, but it uses Jython for the admin CLI. 

python and python based tools are used for engineering and scientific
computing - some random examples: numpy, Sage, matplotlib, NetworkX.
