Because you can, does not mean you should, build full applications with it
It is a colossal waste of resources. It leads to genuine problems as it gets bigger that you will only find when you have considerable sunk costs.
This is a terrible idea, it was a terrible idea in 1995 when people did this with Perl, it is a terrible idea now

I have been badly burnt by Mailman3, pure Python, pretty front end, 2G needed to install it. That cost me real money. The difference between a cheap, and a very cheap, VPS

I've built 30+ apps and wrote hundreds of thousands of lines of code with Python for ~10 years.
I've switched to C#/.NET now, and couldn't be happier. It allows me to almost all the dynamic things I had done in Python, in a type safe way, thus making everything easier.
I wish the modern, cross-platform .NET existing when I've started my journey in Python.
It amplifies all the bad desicions ever made in software
