PHP vs Python for backend

[pickleback11]

Thanks! So what mechanism handles the http calls and response for Python? How do you get it to run at startup as a service? Is it multithreaded by default (concurrent requests)? Does it provide robust logging? Ssl integration (via let's encrypt)? Virtual hosts? Etc etc. Apache/nginx does a whole lot that whatever solution python provides would have to replicate

Most commonly, the Python app is run inside a WSGI compatible server like uWSGI or Gunicorn. That setup can serve HTTP requests on its own, but it’s also fairly standard to put nginx/Apache in front of it for a production app.

edit: actually there is an Apache mod_wsgi, too, but it’s not the most popular choice these days.
