I think you want

apt-cache --installed rdepends python

this will show all currently installed packages that require python. it also shows all the python packages as well. I guess they depend on themselves? anyway, you can filter those out with a grep like this

apt-cache --isntalled rdepends python | grep -v python

this is all clearly in `man apt-cache` and you should consider reading it.
