For web service, the first hurdle is picking which python web interface to use, installing it and (if necessary) configuring your web server to use it. (All that choice is great in many respects, but it does complicate getting started.) Anyway, once you've done that, i doubt you'll find any speed issues with python, and it is a more pleasant language than PHP. (Unfortunately, that initial hurdle can be a big one; I am still using PHP on my server because I never cleared it.) -- Russell -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
