May I ask why this disdain for PHP? OOP type puritanism aside, it's a language in which one *can* code elegantly and then it's highly maintainable. And it's pretty well supported and documented around the web.
I also have disdain for php.PHP has many flaws. You are right in that one *can* code elegantly, but like its cousin, perl, many times it is a write-only language. One of my least favorite things to do is dive into someone else's php code, as it can and does tend to get messy very quickly. Python was designed in such a way that it is very easy to write good, readable code. It is much more well thought out than PHP, and is a pleasure to work with. I love diving into python code from others. Python code is elegant more often than not. It is very straightforward, and is very powerful. The more I learn about python, the more I love it, and the more I find working with php to be a negative experience, and time consuming chore.
It is true that you need to know some python concepts to learn django. It wouldn't take long to get up to speed with python if you are familiar with other programming languages. I recommend doing so, as it has been a great time investment for myself.Anyway, looks like I need to do a good deal of Python to use Django.
Good luck! Jeff Anderson
