Well, I don't know if *you* can, but as far as I'm concerned, that what 
I do whenever possible !-)

Knowing CGI is certainly not the worst starting point wrt/ web 
development - I whish more PHP 'programmers' had the minimal 
understanding of the HTTP protocol required to write a CGI script (and 
any serious web app FWIW).

Django or Pylons are probably what you're looking for. The first one is 
the more mature, stable, and well documented, and the second one the 
most promising IMHO. If you're new to both web development and Python, 
I'd actually recommand Django.

The HTTP 1.1 RFC !-)

Seems fine to me - at least understandable, and that's the important 
point, isn't it ?-)
