Python is good for quick projects, but if you're writing a project with more than 2000 lines of python something's going wrong. The apparent ease of python becomes an unmanageable web of complexity. In the end you woukd have less headaches if you just used a proper statically typed language.

Dropbox, Youtube, Google, Instagram and NASA tell a different story.
And me too.
Scaling a Python project complexity is not harder than scaling Java, the things you have to be careful about are just different.

Are you the only person working on it? How big are we talking here, because I’ve worked on a few Python projects that fall in the region of “a couple to a few thousand lines” both by myself and with a team. Working by myself was significantly easier but Python definitely hits a “tangled mess” point, regardless of how disciplined I was.
In comparison one of my personal projects is in Rust and while that’s currently maybe only a thousand lines it’s already significantly easier to deal with.
