Can someone tell me some pros and cons of using python over php? I recently heard from several people that python is even better than php for website developement so I am wondering if that is actually true.
Someone has experience with that?
Try it and see. Flask (http://flask.pocoo.org/) is the Python community's darling, but I'd recommend starting with Bottle (< http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/%3E) instead. It's distributed as a single file and has no dependencies outside the Python standard library, which means you can get work done without having to grok Python packaging and distribution.
Django (https://www.djangoproject.com/) is Python's answer to Ruby on Rails. It's excellent, robust, well-documented and has a great community but its scope is very large. If you start with it you'll have a hard time separating its patterns and conventions from Python's, and thus it is not ideally suited for a newcomer to the language.
