Yes, I know, but they are all ways to create a website. If I wanted a
site which included galleries, forums, etc. and I didn't want to re-
invent the wheel, I could:

1) Use joomla or drupal, and possible end up "fighting the framework"
to get just what I want.

2) Cooble together a web-site with various scripts, either developed
by others, or myself.

I would like to work with django, and include some python stuff. But,
the PHP environments seem to have a much richer assortment of pre-
written scripts.

If I want to include my own applications, I could develop those apps
with a popular PHP MVC called "CakePHP" and include those into joomla
or drupal. I don't know if there is anything like that with Python
development.
