You're absolutely correct... I'd somehow conflated the two in my mind. I guess the first big Python game was actually Eve Online. I can't recall any big, early Python applications outside of the LLNL work... which, I suppose, says even more about applications being a poor indicator of early language uptake.

Apps take time. IIRC, for a long time the big Python applications were Grim Fandango and some research software at LLNL.
Actually, large chunks of Grim Fandango were written in Lua.
