(PHP or Python) Developing something like www.tribe.net

> CherryPy and Quixote are for programming in the small

May I ask why you say that ?
Just because a framework is light and easy doesn't mean it doesn't
scale well ...

> I have not idea how they scale in the large.

Well, I do :-)
Among many other sites, CherryPy powers the BackOffice system of a big
cinema chain in the UK. The web app gets hammered all day long by
hundreds of users whose work is completely dependent on this web app.
It has 500 different web forms (everything is data driven) and the code
is about 30K lines of python/cherrypy code (if the code wasn't
data-driven it would be a *lot* more ...).

If it gets accepted, there will be a talk about this system at
EuroPython ...

Remi.
