I use python on the pi all the time, it works just fine for me, but I
don't do much time critical stuff. Printing to the console is a bit
slowish, but I do plenty of stuff responding to USB events and flashing
LEDs attached to the GPIO and stuff like that.
Mostly not desktop applications, just scripts that control things, log
data to databases, that kind of stuff.
I have also installed OpenERP on the Pi, that is a biggish python based
server application. It wasn't quick, but neither was it slow enough that
I didn't manage to install it, (including postGRES) and set up a company
in it over the course of an evening.

Hi Alan,
Please add "make Python not suck on Raspberry Pi" to your list of requests.
Execution time for python is so bad I had to rewrite a number of my tools
as shell scripts. Since many tools in Ubuntu are based on Python, I expect
that'll be on your list anyway.
Hopefully that's just an issue with the Raspbian builds and not an inherent
issue with the processor. :)
Regards,
Tyler
