And he is right, you can drop symphony or cakePHP in your webroot and it will work, period.

There's only one port 80, you'd need e.g. mod_proxy + CherryPy on a high port as a long running process. That's just not possible in most shared hosting envs, plus you'd have to monitor cherrypy and whatnot. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending PHP but from a deployment POV python is definitely more complex. cheers Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
