Pillars of Python: Six Python Web frameworks compared

Although Python is not as prevalent as, say, PHP as a language for Web applications, Python nevertheless has much to recommend it in that effort. It is a dynamic, interpreted language, as is PHP, and therefore encourages iterative, exploratory development. Programming purists could point to the fact that object orientation was designed into Python from its very beginnings, rather than being retrofitted to the language at a later point in its life.
Language design considerations aside, the capabilities embodied in Python's standard libraries are impressive. Python even installs with its own Web server. In addition, Python boasts plenty of free database libraries, numerous free Web page template systems, and even libraries for interfacing with your favorite Web server, all ready to download and apply to your next Web application project.
