Does Django scale?
Spreading the tasks evenly, in short optimizing each and every aspect including DBs, Files, Images, CSS etc. and balancing the load with several other resources is necessary once your site/application starts growing. OR you make some more space for it to grow. Implementation of latest technologies like CDN, Cloud are must with huge sites. Just developing and tweaking an application won't give your the cent percent satisfation, other components also play an important role.
I'm building a web application with Django. The reasons I chose Django were:

I wanted to work with free/open-source tools.
I like Python and feel it's a long-term language, whereas regarding Ruby I wasn't sure, and PHP seemed like a huge hassle to learn.
I'm building a prototype for an idea and wasn't thinking too much about the future. Development speed was the main factor, and I already knew Python.
I knew the migration to Google App Engine would be easier should I choose to do so in the future.
I heard Django was "nice".

Now that I'm getting closer to thinking about publishing my work, I start being concerned about scale. The only information I found about the scaling capabilities of Django is provided by the Django team (I'm not saying anything to disregard them, but this is clearly not objective information...).
My questions:

What's the "largest" site that's built on Django today? (I measure size mostly by user traffic)
Can Django deal with 100,000 users daily, each visiting the site for a couple of hours?
Could a site like Stack Overflow run on Django?
