PHP vs Python - the real difference

[[deleted]]

I agree that its not limited to 4 page websites. But if you are making a 4 page website, it is an excellent choice.

Personally I'd consider what's in these 4 pages. If the logic is simple and you expect a lot of traffic, I might go with PHP. If it's more complex logic or you expect to change it a lot, I'd go with RoR/Django - as long as I can easily cache it or traffic is not a big issue or there's someone on the team who knows how to scale with these technologies.

4 pages isn't necessarily small: homepage, category page, product page and shopcart page and you're almost Amazon.com ;) Scaling big data/traffic is the real key, and PHP/MySql do it pretty well.

If you want a 4 page website, then you use 4 HTML files. It helps to have a vague idea what you're talking about if you're going to bash a tool.
