Is Python Sticky?

[ball at righty.eiu-newman.org]

Hello!

For a while "Learn Python" has been on my list of things to do.  Right
now I have an application that could use some glue between a web based
interface (in its simplest form a single page with a couple of buttons
on it), and a shell script (I'm running NetBSD).  Would Python be
suitable for this kind of thing?  Are there other pieces of the puzzle
that I'll need?  Any pointers would be most welcome.
