PHP v Python: fair comparison?

I don't know if this is a fair comparison or not. Any comments
appreciated.

- Python is more readable, and more general purpose
- PHP has awful backward compatibility
- PHP has a lower barrier to entry
- Most inexpensive web-hosters support PHP, but not Python
- PHP has far more pre-writen scripts available
- mod_python is difficult to set up, and use, and is buggy and prone to
crash
- There is more demand for PHP developers, than Python developers

From what I have read, a lot of people seem to have a lot of trouble
with mod_python.

I posted here because I wonderd what people on this forum thought of
mod_python.
Surely it would be better to ask that particular question on
comp.lang.pytho n, not comp.lang.php.

There are many ways to implement high-performance Python-based web sites
without using mod_python.

I think everyone who used Python will agree that its syntax is the best thing going for it. It is very readable and easy for everyone to learn. But, Python does not a have very good macro capabilities, unfortunately. I'd like to know if it may be possible to add a powerful macro system to Python, while keeping its amazing syntax, and if it could be possible to add Pythonistic syntax to Lisp or Scheme, while keeping all of the...

I've recently been trying out various different GUI frameworks in Python and was wondering if I could get your input on the pros and cons of the different ones... wxPython: I love the programming side of wxPython, but I find it's just so slow to initialise in the first place. Tkinter: While it's fast to load up, the syntax has never really appealed to me

Are there any commercial, or otherwise obfuscators for python source code or byte code and what are their relative advantages or disadvantages. I wonder because there are some byte code protection available for java and .NET, although from what i've read these seem to be not comprehensive as protection schemes

I downloaded python-2.5.msi and installed it. I believe its editor is IDE. I understand there's a Win editor called pythonwin. I believe it's in the download pywin32-210.win32-py2.5.exe, but I'm not sure if this exe file has just the editor or all of Python. Comments? If not how do I get the PythonWin editor by itself? BTW, one of the features I did not like of IDE is the limited file Print command. It puts everything in 16pt type, and...

From the introduction to PyObjC, the Python-Objective-C bridge on Mac OS X: "As described in Objective-C for PyObjC users the creation of Objective-C objects is a two-stage process. To initialize objects, first call a class method to allocate the memory (typically alloc), and then call an initializer (typically starts with init). Some classes have class methods which perform this behind the scenes, especially classes that create cached,...

Hi everyone, I'm a big Python fan who used to be involved semi regularly in comp.lang.python (lots of lurking, occasional posting) but kind of trailed off a bit. I just wrote a frustration inspired rant on my blog, and I thought it was relevant enough as a wider issue to the Python community to post here for your discussion and consideration. This is not flamebait. I love Python, and I'm not out to antagonise the community. I also...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
