It doesn't have a GIL, plus it has a good JIT and I know Web2Py works on PyPy, so it seems like a good fit. It does run pretty fast. If you have any benchmarks you want me to run I'll give them a try. I think Windows users should have a choice of what python interpreter they want to use. It does allow you to use .net libraries in IronPython. So instead of only supporting C extensions, I could use a C# extension to IronPython.
