I suspect that several of us don't understand your question.

Python supports several--arguably, a plethora, more than any other
language--distinct "frameworks" for server-side scripting of Web
applications <URL: http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks >.
PSP certainly is among these, although it's recommended <URL:

several others.  Is PSP better than PHP or Perl?  First, do you
understand that PSP isn't directly comparable to PHP or Perl?  The
latter two are languages, while PSP is a Web framework.  In any 
case, the answer is certain to be, "it depends".  There certainly
are situations for each of PSP, PHP, Perl, and many other technol-
ogies.

I summarize:  if you have an interest in practicing Python while
building Web applications, your prospects certainly are bright; 
you'll receive abundant help from the folks here and elsewhere.
For us to provide more specific details about Perl, PSP, and so 
on, meaningful to your own needs, will only be possible when you
articulate the latter more fully <URL:
