Python Good For Prototyping And Not For Large Scale Deployment?

I am new to python and one thing I read is python is good for making fast prototype of your product because of its extensive library support. But it is not good(used) for large sca

Solution 1:

Google uses it, and I think this is a good example for large-scale deployment. It is not very fast, indeed, but it has awesome C/C++ integration support for the bottlenecks.

Solution 2:

The example I would give would be CCP Games who use Python for almost all code, iirc. They run eve online, a MMORPG with the record for the max amount of users online in one persistent universe (over 50 thousand yesterday afternoon for instance). So I would say that is a fairly large scale deployment, in my humble opinion.
