Urban legend. There are a few isolated words in your description
that correspond in a barely recognizable way to truth. Do NOT
shun Python for CGI because it "would ... perhaps crash a server"
(and certainly not in comparison with Java).
There are people, or, more precisely, situations, for which Java
is better suited than Python in server-side Web processing. Maybe
you're in one of those situations. However, Python does NOT have
a general disability such as you describe here.
