OSQA is an Open Sourced similar copy of Stackoverflow, a QnA community. AFAIK some 5K sites are powered by OSQA Stack. OSQA is built on Django.
EDIT: I upvoted the post, and now it's no longer in gray. So, it was just one downvote.
Why the downvotes? Parent post is just pointing out sites which he/she knows to be using Python and/or Django, some of which are incorrect(Gmail?), or are giving the impression that they run on Python when only small sub-projects are using it(LinkedIn?, Amazon?). There are some mistakes, but on a whole, I don't see anything wrong with someone pointing out something relevant to the discussion, even if it involves bragging about something he is associated with.
