Maybe this is crazy but I always thought PHP’s big advantage was you could just drag and drop a .php file over FTP and it would work. The syntax is terrible but it’s so easy to deploy that it’s what I recommend for most programming beginners.

What if you could do the same with Python? Drag and drop a file, drop in and out of Python with

{%python print “Hello World” %}

and just load a .py file with Apache and it works? I’m not saying it’s great, but maybe if it could get people off PHP and onto Python that would be pretty neat.
