.NET and Python

[Ken Egervari]

So you would say Zope sites will run much faster than traditional mod_python
with apache sites?  I've looked into .NET and I hate to admit it, MS is
become more right lately.  Instead of crappy products, they are starting to
produce stuff that does compete.  Since Windows 2000, they have been a
better company.  I think their framework is really good and would feel
confortable implementing an 800 class system using their stuff.  It's also
very easy to define the 3 different layers (especially on 3 or more servers)
and get them working together and you still have lots of power and control
over how the stuff works (unlike Zope which kind of abstracts a lot of
things).  Basically you get that fell of traditional way of web development
with many of the benefits Zope offers.  Besides having enough capital to
start up such a system, how does .NET compare with Python?
