So far, all my LAMP work has been with Apache, MySQL and PHP. Well, and TuxRacer.
An advantage, sort of, is that this all also works on a Windows server, although Apache on a Windows server is one of those "Why would you haul a fishing boat with a Ferrari?" kind of issues. Python has been on 'the list' ever since Paul and I sat down in front of a Babylon Five DVD one night in Hollister and he toured me through Dabo oh-point-something. I just saw that the Apache, Fedora, and Ubu wiki projects are all run on a Python-based wiki framework, moinmoin. Seems time to push this higher up on the list. What requirements are there, other than mod_python and some tweaks to httpd.conf, for Python to replace PHP as the language engine for a Web app? What are the differences, if any, running on a Windows box? And how does it work? I've poked around a bit but haven't found a 30 second 'this is what it does' tutorial. I'm looking for one of those explanations you'd get while riding up in an elevator with someone, on the order of "PHP is an Apache module that intercepts requests to the server. You have a .php page on the server. In it is a mixture of PHP and HTML code. When a browser requests the page, the PHP module interprets PHP commands and functions on the page and returns static text as results of those commands and functions."
