I love, love, love me some Python - it fits the way I think better

that occurs to me: Python is nearly ubiquitous on Linux/Mac, and easy
to download and install on Windows - but most bargain-basement Web
hosts don't support it (I'm looking at YOU, GoDaddy.)
If you're using a premium hosting company ("premium" doesn't
necessarily mean "extremely expensive", but you do need to compare
hosting plans), or if you plan on hosting your site yourself, then I
would absolutely recommend Python (with or without Django or
what-have-you) for Web development... but if you plan on using
GoDaddy, stick with PHP.
I have been a software developer since the 70's. I have used most of
the major languages. I used FoxPro for the last 20 years and have
recently moved to Python. I absolutely love working with Python!
Everything works, deployment is easy, and with all of the libraries
available; there isn't much you can't do. I now develop on Ubuntu even
though my customers (and deployment) are Windows.
Check out Webfaction for a hosting company. They are probably the
largest Django host, but using their control panel to do things is very
easy! I have been using them for over two years.
