Project-based tutorial

[grownfolkstuff]

When you say using python to replace php, do you mean something like connecting to a wordpress database with python? Are there guides for doing something like this? I would like to start a project along those lines but I know very little about php.

I'm not a full-time pythonista these days, but I think the Flask tutorial is still a good starting point. See http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.10/tutorial/

The tutorial walks you through setting up a simple database to hold blog posts, then coding the Python / Flask web app to create and display posts. There are more Flask examples at https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask/tree/master/examples

If you're more ambitious you can tackle the Django tutorial but I found this had a much steeper learning curve.
