We are running a web service (just the API no front end) written in Python 3 for a tiny bit less than one year. Even under considerable load, the traditional Apache/mod_wsgi combination never failed (though we had some encoding issues during development). The reason to go p3 was for one the new string handling, which I personally find absolutely beautiful and the idea of future proofing the application. We are a small shop and certainly don't have the resources to rewrite the thing in 3 years when all the cool stuff is happening in python 3 land. This was also the reason to start development of another application in PHP5 just when 5.0.0 came out. There it paid off, though with p3 I'm not quite sure. It looks as if we are stuck with 2.x maybe forever.
