I wonder why people take a statement about a language as a personal attack,
then whip it around and throw out an ad hominem attack.

Currently, I've probably built (and/or managed teams that have built) about
5 sites that were previously written in PHP, and used Django to refactor
them, and seen substantial test case increases in execution speed (they're
not live yet).

One would be: http://www.chatterbean.com/

This site processes about, oh, 300 to 400 thousand individual visitors per
day.  My Django refactor has probably seen an increase of about 400 to 500%
in execution time.  I'm not kidding (this is using a separate application
server).

I've been using Python for about 6 years, but just recently dipped into
Pylons and Django ( Although I'm currently working as a senior web
developer, I usually do penetration testing or network engineering contract
jobs).  The substantial increase in both development time AND execution time
have led me to believe that they are the best solution.
