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/>) 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.
