One thing to note is that if we were exclusively talking about a web
app, then php is better in that it blends perfectly with html because it
is ment for that kind of work.
I was just looking at the twig engine for Php and found it a bit more
powerful than mako which I have been using for last 3 years for my app.
the advantage with Python lies in its all round power and for a core
service based app, it is a strict no-no for php from me.
Happy hacking.

We actually are using Pylons in a desktop app. We needed both a web
version and a desktop version (because some of the deployments would
be on fire trucks in places that didn't always have Internet access),
and we didn't want to write two separate user interfaces. So we embed
the web app in a wxPython application. We're currently using the
platform's native browser (Windows: IE, Mac: Safari), but we've been
experimenting with WebKit and waiting till its wxPython binding has
enough features. The application is then wrapped in py2exe or py2app
as a one-click installer. The effective UI has some flaws and doesn't
behave totally like a desktop app, but it has been good enough to be
usable. We haven't had time to port the application to Pyramid but
will probably do so next year or the year after.

You wouldn't use Pyramid to build a desktop app. Everything in pyramid is
geared for web applications.

So the only limitation isn't of pyramid but that currently python has less
hosting available currently.
Pyramid from the discussion above is more a library than a framework. This
is it's strength and while I initially may have a little bigger learning
curve ultimately I get more flexibility, sort of like vim/emacs over a
normal text editor.
On a real tangent would this also mean if I wanted to use Pyramid to build
a desktop app I could pull in PyQt and off I go?
PS thank you for taking the time to help me.
