Oh, if you do decide to write your own app from scratch in python, I highly suggest looking into WSGI:<br><br><a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/">http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/</a><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Looking for some opinions here. I have a fairly large app to write,<br>and I'm still undecided on writing it in PHP or Python. It will<br>primarily be a web app, but I also want the option of command-line<br>access.
<br><br>The advantage of PHP is that more people know it, and I think it's<br>faster to develop a web app in PHP. I haven't tried writing a web app<br>in Python yet, though.<br><br>Python is a much cleaner language, and actively prevents many common
<br>coding mistakes. PHP's ability to use variables which have not<br>previously been defined is a point against it.<br><br>There's other arguments I can make for and against both, but I'm<br>curious what opinions people have.
<br><br>There's also the question of frameworks. I'm hesitant to use a<br>framework, though. From what I've seen, they work great within the<br>limits of what they were designed to do, but as soon as you exceed
<br>those limits, things get much more interesting, which is to say,<br>difficult.<br><font color="#888888"><br>--<br>Marshal Newrock<br>Ideal Solution, LLC - <a href="http://www.idealso.com" target="_blank">http://www.idealso.com
