At this point, pretty much all languages have a bit more of a hurdle than PHP on the server for various technical reasons. You can eliminate some of the rough spots by going with hosting that is familiar with what you're using, who often have systems to help smooth things -- webfaction.com for python for example, and there are others who specialize in Rails as well. > From what I am gathering, Pylons requires a similar amount of ongoing > configuration.

Rails does, as does pretty much other language, including many PHP frameworks. If you research hosting you should be able to find a place with a decent setup, but if for financial or whatever reasons you need to deploy on supercheapcrappyhosting.com you might want to stick with ol' PHP. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
