How is Python used on the web?

[rayden150]

Hello, I am an intermediate Python programmer, and I was just wondering how is python used on the web? would it be something similar to php, and what software do I need to use in order to use python on the web because I am very much interested in web development and python. Thanks

There are many ways Python is used on the web. The major use is either through CGI scripting or frameworks such as django. If you want to get started, I suggest following at the tutorial on https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/

CGI scripting is not used so much.
Most of web development in python done with web framework.

There are many good like web2py,Django,TurboGear,Pylons.
Django is the most know.
Some web site made in django.

Its used to make web apps by people who think PERL is not verbose enough and ruby is a "toy" language.

Basically everyone has their own pet language and anything else is junk to them for any reason.

I use whatever language will get the job done, because in the end that's the whole point, accomplishing work of some sort.

He want to know how python is used in web development,that you use whatever language
do get the job done has nothing to with the question asked at all.
