you'll need to make a distinction between a webserver written in python (primary purpose to serve data) and a web framework that integrates python and allows you to generate said data with python as for the so called load test that you mention above, those "tests" are pointless and provide no insight whatsoever to the realistic behavior of the server ... unless of course all your users are expected to connect from the same machine while asking for the same 2 byte file at the maximum speed the system allows them to. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
