"By some coincidence three languages starting with P are often grouped together: Perl, PHP, and Python. It's a nice coincidence, and these are the languages I've thought about. Both Perl and PHP have had tremendous bursts of growth because of web programming."
I've been thinking of starting a programming project that is a web based application. I have been trying to decide on what language to work with. Out of the 3P's I've got the most experience with Python. I've run into a problem though. One of the things that the web based application will require is a method of accessing manipulate the disk quota settings on the system. No such module exists for Python. I could of course try porting that old module I talked about here. Which reminds me, I never finished that post, did I!
I've also been thinking about mod_python but I dont want to limit myself to one webserver. I want the code to run on the common webservers. I also want the code to be cross platform. Do I have to use PHP5? Perl?
