php running as cgi you mean.

James said:Nope. It disproves your assertion that "certainly all of the lower
priced hosters" use Apache 1.3.
Okay, where can I get Python and Apache 2.X for $10 a year?
James Cunningham said:Frankly, I can't find *anybody* who advertises hosting for <= $10 a
year - the cheapeast I can find is $18 - and such a plan would be too
limited for me to consider anyway.

OK. But since when has python been considered a viable alternative for
web development?
As a generalp purpose language, it's older.
But as a web development language, it's olnly when people started to
look for the "rails killer" and many python alternatives started to
come up (although Django has been in development for a long time before
all this hype).
Huh? I've been doing paid python web work since 2000. I'm fairly sure
that Yahoo! groups predates that by a while, and I know that
mod_python/httpdapy goes back at least to 1998 (and Python CGI predates
that significantly).

The problem is (or was) for mere mortals trying to create a web site on
shared hostings.
We all know that mod_python has its issues, and still is not a common
or affordable feature in the vast mayority of web hosts. And prior to
that, you only had cgi or other rather unknown solutions.
mod_php had a clear advantage here. Perhaps not as a language but as an
ubiquitous and cheap alternative.
Agreed.
In the last months (and I said "months" not years) the situation
improved a lot, but still it is a fair to make a comparison.

Do not forget the subject of this thread.
Nobody is criticizing python here. I am a "believer"!
.I appreciate your clarification. I can report back that we
certainly move in different circles; I, for example, knew of
people with multi-million-dollar budgets deciding on Python-
based Web technology for *serious* applications in '96. Ruby
