Web2py looks like a very nice Python framework but I am wondering if it is suitable to use for a large public web site. What sorts of issues might I run into? I'm not worried about technical scalability so much as UI/UX limitations, ability to connect other components, etc.

By default, web2py runs its web server on 127.0. 0.1:8000 (port 8000 on localhost), but you can run it on any available IP address and port. You can query the IP address of your network interface by opening a command line and typing ipconfig on Windows or ifconfig on OS X and Linux.
Web2py allows web developers to program dynamic web content using Python. Web2py is designed to help reduce tedious web development tasks, such as developing web forms from scratch, although a web developer may build a form from scratch if required.
Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design; Web2py: *An open-source web application framework *.

web2py is a very capable web server application framework. UI/UX (User interface / Experience) limitations does not arises usually from a server framework.
There are quite a number of free application that demonstrates it's capabilities:
If you want to compare it with other server frameworks, there are quite a few documents out there that you can read on.
The following discussion should add to information here
You have to be more specific to make a judgement or evaluate a server framework than what you have mentioned.
[Edit: based on comments]
While the examples in the link provided by mdipierro may not inspire confidence with regard to desired UI/UX solutions. It would be premature to consider that because of web2py or any other server framework. It might point to the fact that all these are implemented by a resource constrained team.
