A new quote went up on the python.org front page that quotes one of the software architects of YouTube stating that the site is mostly written in Python and how it has helped them. So next time someone complains that Python doesn't scale you have a real-world example of where it does. =)

Good :-) But what DBMS use? PostgreSQL, may be?
Thanks for the fish folk!
YO CREO QUE USA MYSQL
MySQL? Why?
Ordenar en Python es O(nlogn) ;)
it uses mysql just like adsense
That's like cows are liquid because they produce milk. They could've used any language, the bottleneck was the video streaming, not the application logic (Python).
Randy: And what you are saying is that page views aren't ever a bottleneck on a site that has millions of pageviews a month. Yes, streaming does take a lot of time and bandwidth, but people still click around. Haven't you ever gone to YouTube or any other site and just constantly clicked around looking for stuff?
They still needed a large number of pages to be served within a reasonable time or risk losing people from slow-loading pages.
