Between PHP and Python, which one is better for web programming purpose?
jm4: They will both get the job done. PHP isn't exactly pretty but it's easy to learn and get up and running with. Python can also be learned fairly quickly but it might be a steeper learning curve getting your development and production environments set up properly. I would definitely give the edge to Python since it's much more general purpose than PHP is. You may not always want to do just web programming.
