I think so. PHP apps have had a headstart when it comes to the web. Especially boilerplate applications like forums, bulletin boards, CMSs etc. Many of the heavy duty sites out there use PHP as well (eg. Wikipedia). Wordpress for example has a really nasty security record but it's probably one of the most widely used CMS/blogging apps out there. It takes about a minute to install and set up and has a huge community with themes, plugins etc which makes it quite compelling even if you're a python person. I asked around about this when I was planning on moving away from WP for my own blog and most of the people on the python channel were of the opinion that people use Python blogging platforms simply because they are in *python* rather than for any other technical reasons and that was disheartening. Python does work a lot better when you're developing a new app from scratch though IMHO and in a while, if people fix the deployment hassles, I think it can make headway. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
