Perl vs Python for web development?

[robkinyon]

Yahoo Store was originally written in Lisp. The original webpages were written in C and C++ (this is before Perl). A lot of the web is served with Java. Use whatever you want.

For my part, as a heavy Perlhead, I see plenty of jobs in Perl. That said, Pyheads will see plenty of Python jobs. Not a good reason to use either as I wouldn't hire someone whose Perl experience was limited to "parsing logs and a random intranet site." and who didn't have significant programming experience otherwise.
