What's the goal?  Is it to increase your résumé appeal,
accomplish a particular task, make new friends, ...?

I use *both* Zope and Python for CGI.  There are good reasons
for mod_python, too; 'depends on where you're headed.

I find Python-based Web development entirely more pleasant
than the comparable work with JSP and servlets.
