I've just started learning it because we use it at my job as well. There it's mostly used for back-end things, data-manipulation. It's used extensively in fields where a lot of data needs to be crunched because it has good features for that, but it's also used in web development, just look into Django/Flask/Pyramid.

It's also one of the primary languages used in automation & devops, Ansible, for example, is written in Python. The Success Stories section on the official Python site is also pretty comprehensive.
