none of them are written in Python. They use specific features written in Python, which are undisclosed, but I assume they're using Python for the heavy burden of algorithms and back end tools, like video processing and database management. For that, Python is impressive, it just doesn't handle web well (At least not directly or not known, who knows what 2 of the most technologically advanced companies in the world have under their sleeves) .

Anyway, take what I say with a pinch of salt: I'm a noob at Python, what I'm telling you comes from my professor since the first thing i asked him (obviously) was the same question you're doing here. And that's the answer I got: use it for desktop, avoid web for now until new tools and frameworks are developed.

If you still wanna try it, I suggest Django+Jinja , it's pretty easy for people like me, and I'm a retard!
