CGI with Python: advantages?

[Mimmo]

Hi!
This is my first post here, and I hope I won't be OT!
I'm a quite experienced Perl programming and now I'm beginning to learn
Python: after using it for a couple of weeks, I found it a very
interesting language (and very elegant, too!): really high-level, not so
hard to learn (well, at least the "beginners' syntax"!) and very useful,
even if I still haven't written any reale useful apps for now!
Being also a CGI programmer (that's my job!), I wanted to test it as a
web-scripting language, writing my first CGI scripts using Python: I
already got some good results, even if, as I told before, I still
haven't written "too serious" programs.
The question is: is Python a good language for CGI scripting?
Does it offer something more (speed, efficency or whatever else) than
Perl or other languages used to write this kind of scripts? Or can I
still use Perl for my CGIs and use Python for other things?

Maybe this will sound as a quite "stupid" question, but I'd like to have
some informations from people who use it for this kind of programming!

TIA
Mimmo
(sorry if my English just sounds like it but it's not .. I'm Italian and
in Italy there is no newsgroup dedicated to this language!)
