Is Python appropriate for web applications?

[Unknown User]

I am a Python programmer and I'm thinking about learning PHP, which is  
similar to C++ (quite
different from Python). I want to start writing web applications. Do you  
think if I learn
PHP I'll develop faster? Does PHP have more features? How about the speed  
of execution? What
are the pros and cons? Our server can run both Python, Perl and PHP, so I  
have the choice.
Thanks for your opinion,
