I didn't make myself clear. The expected disappointment I was referring to was about the rate of adoption, not about the quality of the product.

I'm still baffled as to how a bug in the cgi module (along with the acknowledged email problems) is such a big deal. Was it reported and then languished in the bug tracker? That would be bad ion its own but if it was only recently discovered that indicates that it probably isn't such a big deal - either way it needs fixing, but using Python for writing cgis hasn't been a big use case for a long time.

FWIW: some APIs in the cgi module is actually used by a number of Python2 web frameworks and libraries: Paste, for instance, uses it, and is in turn used by BFG, Pylons, TurboGears. Zope has used it that way since for ever.
