Be warned that if you use python, expect it to be slow. Many basic
associative array operations are more than 10x slower than C++'s
comparative operations leading to long page execution time if you are
dealing with alot of data. I have written a simple web framework in
Python and XML, and it's a nice language, but it is slow in places. I
should mention that string manipulation in python is faster than the
C++ string class though.
I can't stand PHP anymore because they just keep changing it
underneath me, and I can't do anything about it. I'm one frustated
X-PHPer. Moving all to mod_python and taking on the chin with the
performance hit.
