songza.com is pretty close to 100% python.  The only significant non-python code on the server side are mongodb, haproxy, and nginx.

We've got 102 KLOC in the application (i.e. code we wrote), plus another 104 KLOC in django and 337 KLOC of other installed packages (i.e. everything in our virtualenv's site-packages directory).

Those numbers are just the raw output of doing "find ... -name *.py | xargs wc -l", so they include blank lines and comments.  So, all told, roughly a half million lines of python code.
