A ton of very useful software has been written in php (including MediaWiki, which drives Wikipedia). One needs to have a very highly developed sense of theoretical purity to look down their noses at the language that drives one of the highest volume web sites on the planet. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
