I'm very new to scripting languages but I need to start seriously learning one. I had been wavering between PHP and ASP.NET (favoring PHP) when I received a SitePoint email with an article entitled "A PHP Guy's Look at Python". Reading it briefly, it seems that Python can do all that PHP and ASP can do but perhaps cleaner and better when dealing with larger web apps that seem to naturally move away from HTML.
My goal is to be able to build database-driven websites with CMS. I'm interested to know: is Python a viable and recommended option for a newbie such as myself or is it something I should look to down the road after learning one of the more popular scripting languages?
