I am lucky that I found Flask a while ago, because I was sick of PHP. Flask, jinja2, and uWSGI have since been my best friends.

It took a little while to figure out how to setup a proper web server around those, but the guides are not that complex. Install nginx, darmonize uWSGI with upstart, and configure it. It's funny, in some ways it's easier to use than PHP, because when I am working with the website on my local machine, I can run uWSGI in http mode, no configuration necessary.

The only barrier I see going from PHP to Python or Ruby is managed hosting.

In fact, I felt impassioned about it enough to create a blog and write about it:
