Thanks on those comments. I don't know python and neither ruby, my question is is python hard to learn of a guy who has pascal background. The only advantage I know for python over ruby is speed. I have heard people saying ruby on rails is a full stack web application framework, is this the same for django? Which is better mod_python or FCGI?
