Here's my two cents:

Has anyone tried out the mod_wsgi module for *Nginx*?  Yeah, I know,
weird: http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxNgxWSGIModule

Being asynchronous rules!  That's why Erlang, Squid, IronPort servers,
Nginx, etc. are able to handle so many concurrent requests so easily.
 Here's the link to the C10K paper referenced earlier:
http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html.  It explains why a thread or process
model doesn't cut it if you want to handle 10K simultaneous requests.

If you're interested in doing asynchronous programming in Python but
without the painful callback style approach used by Twisted, check out
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Eventlet.  It's based on the same
tricks used by Yahoo Groups, IronPort, and Slide.

As usual, I recommend that anyone who wants to talk about scalability
read "Scalable Internet Architectures".  Gees, I probably sound like a
broken record concerning that book ;)

Finally, a plug for my article (if you don't mind).  If you want to
learn more about concurrency approaches in Python, checkout my
article: http://www.ddj.com/linux-open-source/206103078

Thanks for your patience ;)
