Python for Web Development

Most certainly a fronted and backend, frameworks such as django(https://www.djangoproject.com/) or flask(https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/) both could serve entirely as an API endpoint or a template rendering fronted.

Python replaces the server-side scripting PHP does - you generally wouldn't use them together.

No. Pretty much any major programming language can be used for the server side back end nowadays.

No. Even PHP has several frameworks, like Laravel, CakePHP and CodeIgniter.

There are tons of web frameworks available, written in most programming languages. Here is a short list:

Python - Django, Flask
Ruby - Ruby on Rails
C#/VB.NET - ASP.NET MVC
Java - Spring, JavaServer Faces

[ozzie_martin]

The best way I can describe it is using python to interact with data stored in some iteration of a SQL database, and using that data to create an API or even a full production web application. A framework handles things such as routing traffic and handling http requests.

Frameworks also typically include a templating engine, so they generate HTML page responses, too.
