Looks nice, but my first thought when I looked at the code example: 1 >>> l = ['spam', 'ham', 314, 23] was "wait, how are they assigning a list to the number 1? How is that possible? Oh... that's an l". (Not a fan of that. I'm half blind (figuratively) so these things confuse me.)
Maybe I've grown too used to the current design, but my first reaction is - yuck, too much like a http://everyfuckingwebsite.com/ clone. I'll try to articulate my dislike as something constructive, and submit feedback directly.
The fact that they are even previewing the website with dummy content tells me that they are focusing on the wrong things.

Yeah, that example is a placeholder; we plan on replacing it with something awesome. Thanks!
Looks awesome! A much needed revamp at last! From now on, the snake will be able to compete head to head with a certain pink rock (in terms of attractive homepages) :)
The shadow on the logo is too dark and looks wierd. Also, I'd put a call to action, like "Download" or "Learn" in a more visible format (maybe on a button) in a larger font, above all the "blocks", along with the content of the Statistics block.
The PSF block at the bottom looks out of place. (I really love the way you show additional information when I hover on the links in the second navbar. I'm not sure how that extends to touch based devices, but you could probably present the PSF block in a similar way.)
The "Socialize" link looks out of place too and should probably be on the upper navbar. (The other "actions" in that block are related to the site itself - search and text size)
I agree with the others that that code sample should actually be an editor with the ability to actually execute code.
The problem with python's website was never that it wasnt "Sexy" enough to attract newcomers. Its that the documentation was never as well written or well organized as other languages/libraries like ruby and jQuery.

Clearly, not everyone thought so. What did you not like about the docs?
