In the article The Onion Uses Django, And Why It Matters To Us, a lot of interesting points are made about their ambitious infrastructure move from Drupal/PHP to Django/Python: the move wasn’t that hard, it just took time and work because of their previous experience moving the A.V. Club website; churn in core framework APIs make it more attractive to move than stay; supporting...

The second one #5 was actually powered by a 5.2 liter Lincoln V8 engine....
