Advantage: A Python interpreter will be present on most web servers, though not necessarily all. (Windows-based servers especially.)
Wash: Python is probably better known than Lua, but not as well as PHP or JS.
Disadvantage: Like PHP, Python is difficult to lock down securely.
Also for Python you really will want an editor that supports indenting. Web browsers are not suitable for programming Python.
Though indenting is mandatory for Python, the use or reasonable indenting is pretty much necessary to produce readable code in any language.
That said, I don't see any reason we couldn't use two or three consecutive spaces to indicate indentations.
