I think you guys got some incorrect info about PHP. A variety of execution options are available, such as FastCGI and in-server modules. PHP frameworks generally allow and encourage application code to be independent of the underlying plumbing. Many large, sophisticated, high-volume web apps are in PHP. We like Python 'round here, but PHP, Ruby, Perl, Java, and others are viable languages for web apps. Each has its distinguishing features -- how efficiently a web app gets invoked is not among them. It's not a language issue. What was the theory here? Did we think the PHP community too stupid to understand FastCGI? -- --Bryan Olson -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
