Well, I'm in the process of replacing a number of my perl scripts with
python because I like programming in Python better than in perl, the .pyc's
load noticeably quicker, and it has some great features (threads!) that make
it very scalable.  In fact, I can create a self-contained webserver and
content delivery system entirely in python (a project I'm actually working
on :-).  As far as database access, I wrote a perl script and a python
script that turned out to be exactly the same number of lines and fetched
stuff from a MySQL database.  I'm running mod_perl and mod_pyapache in my
Apache 1.3.6 and the python reloaded noticeably quicker.  Throw threads into
the mix and things start working pretty quick...

Just some thoughts...
