I love PHP for HTML.

But, for hooking up Flash and a database on Apache, Python with SQLObject and SimpleJSON is very effective.

Alot of problems like I am reading on these forums melted away into simplicity when I switched to Python/Flash/JSON.

Anyways, just an opinion.

How’d you find the change from PHP to python? Been looking into python (well, kind of), interested to hear from someone who’s used both.

PHP is better from HTML IMO. PHP fits HTML like a glove. Python is good for HTML, just PHP is better.

For working with Flash, Python fits Flash like a glove. Just keep all your data transfers in JSON, use SQLObject for the database side ( no more writing SQL statements EVER unless they are complex ), simplejson. It really simplifies matters.

Python obviously smokes PHP for any kind of command line programming.

Also, Python objects are optional, you don’t have to use them unless you need them.
