rather comparing with J2EE (which has made quite a few bad architecture choices on the way), better is to see what are your requirements and see if Python and django can do it with less effort and more elegance, while achieving desired maintainability, performance and scalability. and from answers on this thread looks like it python and django can be a good choice.
a dated article on how and where Google uses Python http://panela.blog-city.com/python_at_google_greg_stein__sdforum.htm It looks like python has been traditionally used as better replacement of Perl, for scripting and glue code and in operations. Java and J2EE has been more popular for building business applications. that said, it is changing fast. Partly because people frustration with J2EE and its mistakes ( high complexity, high development time, EJB 2 model etc.) and partly because frameworks like django are turning out to be such awesome alternative. ( DIsclaimer: I have almost 10 years of enterprise-class J2EE architecture and oracle experience and before that C. And I like Java and J2ee both despite the shortcomings which I have learned to avoid.) BTW, the having presentation and business logic on same physical server is nothing bad in itself, till they are logically separate. Even in J2EE enterprise class apps We have gone that route (same physical server but separate logical tiers) many times to avoid overhead of remoting/networking and serialization/de-serialization. Of Course there are surely few cases where you may want separate physical tiers.
