However, (C)Python still has one major (enterprise) shortcoming. The scalability is terrible. If your problem is amenable to running as multiple CPython instances, and splitting your load or input, you're fine.
However, trying to manage a load that is more naturally handled as a threaded server is a serious problem due to the GIL. And it's about to become a huge problem due to multi-core CPUs.
