General Development Python 3.0, 'Python 3000', has reached its first public release. This version will be followed by beta releases throughout 2008, and the final release is scheduled for August 2008. "Python 3000 ('Py3k', and released as Python 3.0) is a new version of the language that is incompatible with the 2.x line of releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed."

For web applications, I would probably prefer Java in most cases for performance reasons.

Because, as we all know, hardware is expensive. And programmers are cheap.

Check out Django:

If it can handle the Washington Post's site, it can probably handle your sites. It scales out like you wouldn't believe. And with memcached, you have caching at multiple levels, at as fine or as coarse a granularity as you desire.

And the "Curse Gaming" site has shown that it can handle 600,000 pages per hour. (That's pages, not hits.)
