PHP Developer highly interested in Python (web development) with some open questions...

[Tamer Higazi]

Hi!
My brother is dreaming and dying for python and swear that it is the
ultimate killer application language.

I am coding Webapplication in PHP5 and ask myself if for python are:

- application frameworks like: "Zend Framework" and ezComponents
- What is the Zope Applikation Server? Is it also a Webserver like the
Apache or Tomcat Webserver?

- Is there a way of Round Tripp engineering based on UML XMI Files to
generate python files (with it's dependencies) ????

- Let us assume, I want to write a Web application in Python (what I did
now in PHP5) and want to distribute my work under commercial usage.

Can I encrypt my work and generate Licence Files for Customers who would
purchase my End-Sollution like with:

- Zend Encoder
- IonCube
- SourceGuardian

???

I just ask, because I have finished a product and will encrpyt it with
the Ioncube encoder based on PHP5.

for answering all my Questions, I would thank you guys very much
