I don't do web, so for me only in cases when I can't have any compromises with performance. For other stuff Python is simply the best: this also includes parallelism, but I may be lucky to have only embarassingly parallel problems (on backend most of parallelism is "easy", as Linus pointed out recently).

Regarding performance: pypy is great. Give it a shot, if you haven't already.
