The reason PHP works is because it lies on top of Apache. I would recommend that you check out mod_python if you haven't already. It allows you to plug Python code directly into each phase of Apache request handling - and I used to do all my webapps with it before going to TG (I had been using PHP for several years before going to mod_python). It's very fast, and you can configure Apache any way you like in terms of processes/threads etc. You will need some boilerplate code - which I believe you will with PHP anyway - but making use of Routes will go a long way and give you maximum flexibility - plus, you can use all the great Python libraries - sqlalchemy, markup, etc.. I have to admit myself, that if I were to write a mission-critical application that needed to handle high loads - I would probably go back to mod_python + homemade framework instead of TG.
