First paragraph from

<quote>
Mahmoud is lead developer of the Python Infrastructure team at 
eBay/PayPal and he has some amazing facts and studies to discuss about 
the truths and myths using Python for real projects. We discuss how eBay 
is using Python internally for many large-scale uses. Then we move on to 
discuss the 10 myths of enterprise Python, such as Python is not 
compiled, Python is weakly-typed, Python does not scale, and more. </quote>

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
