If you have more layout (html) than logic (programming language) than use
php. I don't like to say that, because python is the better language.
But zope and webware are not that easy.
Except: If there will be a lot of people how edit the site use Zope
and ust dtml and zpt through the web
If you have more logic: Use pyhton's CGI-Module. Search the web for
some examples. There is trick with a small wrapper-script which contains
only a try: catch clause so that errors in you python will result be written
to the browser (Otherwise your stacktrace gets lost)
If you don't want to use a relational database use Zope and write a
python product. But that's interesting but not good for newbies.
Hint: A Zope python product is totaly different from a through the web created
site.
