Python can scale to very large sites.

Yahoo! email and Yahoo! maps are written in Python.  Substantial parts
of Google are done in Python, though they also have a lot of C back there.

(MySQL is used by some large sites that don't need ACID properties but
do need a fast data store--e.g. slashdot.org)
