Hi Nick, Sorry about my concern on Google. It caused a confusion about Google groups. I didn't mean explicitly where Google uses python, I mentioned just Google uses Python. A Google officer told that they run Python on thousands of their servers at an interview. Due to this claim I wanted to say it for you. Actualy of course it can be done and even it will not be worse than any other frameworks, and I bet can be better than Java and ASP.NET if configured and programmed well. I really encourage you to use mod_python for any project. Mod_python and mod_wsgi made it very powerful at web side. As I said in my previous message a web application's responsiveness is dependent to several issues. A good web framework, server speed, database design etc.. In this case you want to use django, which as I know build for mod_python and can be configured to run on a mod_wsgi web server. Consider that you will have one million members on your site. That traffic simply needs several clustered web servers and clustered databases. This means you supply a load balancing. So concurrent user sessions will be shared on different web servers. You can do your best with such a clustered system with such a powerful language. Really don't worry about that.
