I think you are safe in classifying this statement as FUD.  I've been
using Python (outside of Zope) for five years.  I even had a non-trivial
accounting system that my business depended on running in Python.
A bad design decision on my part led to some real problems with memory
size and CPU use of the resulting program, but Python never crashed
no matter how much data I tried to shoehorn into my badly designed
system.  Python is rock solid.
