Python is a viable applications language, yes. There's nothing you can't write in Python that you can write in (say) Java - both languages are what's called "Turing complete". Every language has its special focus, though, so there'll be some things that are far easier in one language than another. In general, Python is a fine language for simple tasks like printing "Hello, world", for scripting, for writing GUI programs, and for building web applications. It's not restricted to tiny projects or to huge ones. There's no critical limit on the amount of "stuff" you can do before the code gets unwieldy, for instance, nor is there a level below which it's just too much hassle to put together a program.
