Anyway, take what I say with a pinch of salt: I'm a noob at Python, what I'm telling you comes from my professor since the first thing i asked him (obviously) was the same question you're doing here. And that's the answer I got: use it for desktop, avoid web for now until new tools and frameworks are developed.

If you still wanna try it, I suggest Django+Jinja , it's pretty easy for people like me, and I'm a retard!
