In a sense, true, but only in a sense. Webware makes Python
very much like PHP in the sense that it allows for PSP (Python Server
Pages) with persistance and all the rest. Used with the mod_webware
extension that comes with the latest version, its performance is
comparable to PHP, it has all of the capabilities of PHP, and it's in
Python, language that in just a month has convinced me to give up on
Perl and Java exept where deemed essential by the employer-- which sadly
is all too often.
