Of course. Wether or not "using Python like PHP" i. e. using
code-in-html is a good idea is another interesting question. [1]

Both are tools that can help you doing so. But both Twisted.Web and
mod_python are pretty low-level. You'll probably need an additional
library to do the usual stuff like session handling for you.

Of course, there are complete web application frameworks, Webware only
being one of them. You might want to take a look at this Wiki page:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/WebProgramming for the
overwhelming possibilites.

There are several solutions that come pretty close to PHP, for example
Spyce (http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/Spyce).
