Comments on: A First Look at Python http://joshduck.com/blog/2008/04/11/a-first-look-at-python/ It's a blog about the web, by Josh. Geddit?

Either you need to use a Python based FCGI connector, mod_python or wsgi.. each have their draw backs and diverges you from you true task. Basically, when the problem is to design a website and you choose Python; you now have two problems. The counter point is that you could use a framework.. that can be a draw back for simple, or complex web applications.

I've tried python at work, this awesome dude I work with wrote this daemon in it which basically does what the Zend Job Queue Engine does, but the one he wrote actually works. Anyway, I didn't really like it too much, but you do bring up some good points about it's benefits. The interactive shell does kick severe amounts of ass, but PHP's documentation (and lets be honest, the fact that it's my comfort zone) have stopped me from even thinking about converting. Anyway, like I said, great post! So, sweet article.
