At work, since about 16 months ago, mostly for maintaining and enhancing many programs that control, monitor, and ensure the smooth working of, many large clusters of servers (plus, all the persnickety extra little things that keep coming up...). At home, mostly to orchestrate my long-standing research into the theoretical roots of the game of contract bridge (plus, the even more numerous persnickety big and small things that come up even more often, at least with a wife and stepson both being students at demanding Palo Alto teaching institutions which both happen to be named Stanford;-)... they're both decent Python programmers [my wife more than just decent... she's the only woman member of the PSF!-)] but I'm still happy to lend a hand when needed -- for my stepdaughter too, who lives thousands of miles away... she's a budding artist and often uses Poser, which lets users write Python programs to drive the positioning and rendering...). As a freelance consultant in Europe, before I crossed an ocean and a continent to come work for my current employer, I used Python for a huge variety of tasks for clients, including a multi-tier enterprise-class workflow framework cum several specialized applications (I mostly helped out with middleware tiers and web interfaces, but the Qt-based GUI and the DB-interfacing backend were also Python), a tivo-like DVR system's wide variety of programs, a web-based system to farm out photo retouching from customers to professional consultants, a system controlling the UI of a mechanical engineering bill-of-materials system to either GUI or Web interfaces, and so forth.
