Python for Webscripting (like PHP)

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,
I've been using Python a lot for scripting (mainly scripts for server
administration / DB access). All these scripts were shell based.

Now I'm considering using Python (with mod_python on Apache 2) for a web
project, just how I've used PHP in some smaller Projects before (<?php
print "foo" ?>)..

How suitable is Python for these kind of projects? What do think? Does the
stdlib offers all basic functions for this kind of requirements?

Thanks,

Florian
