If yes, benchmarks are not an argument.

Anyway, since php is also usable (hem... maybe not the appropriate qualificative) outside Apache, it should quite easy to make a more serious test ? Seriously: I never saw any benchmark where php was faster than Python for any kind of stuff - unless of course you're trying to compare Zope running as a CGI script with an hello world PHP script runned by mod_php. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
