Ya, I've been dabbling with Python for about a year and a half now.. The 
lists.evolt.org
web interface for everyones mailing list options is actually written in 
python,
which testifies to its ease of use. Many
of the yahoo.com sites are also written in python, which also testifies 
to its scaleability
and performance..

I like the whole OO'edness of python because it was super easy to pick up
from a C++ background. I also love the fact that it ties into the OS so well
(no matter what OS you're using btw).

All in all, its a nice step between a PHP or CF and a C++ or Java for 
web development.
