Next is the fact that it's rather simple with Python to meet speed demands where external factors like Gb vs 10Gb network cards are the limiting factor. And last, you do realize that most "simple" websites do hinge on the performance and scalability of the underlying SQL server. In practice some languages like PHP do force that "LAMP" model much stronger on the developer, which makes developing systems that scale beyond a certain point a challenge. So to summarize, Python is fast enough for even demanding stuff, and when done correctly even number crunching or binary parsing huge files or possible in competitive speeds. But you sometime need a developer that can wield the tool with a certain experience, and not a stupid rookie that whines that his tool does not make his O(n**n) algorithm automatically blazing fast.
