Python is a general purpose programming language and it is not for just web development. You can develop Desktop GUI applications, games, web crawlers, command line utilities, computer vision apps, machine learning programs, web servers and much more.
Web development using python is now generally done using frameworks such as django, flask, tornado, bottle etc. but in early days it was used as cgi scripts for generating web pages. Youtube is one great example of a web application developed using python.
