I am glad to see that the web2py community is thriving, and people are starting to see that web development can be easily done using the best programming language in the galaxy.
In any case, if you are interested in Python, or even in web development in general, I strongly suggest you buy this 341-page book which explains from what python is, to concepts like MVC, AJAX and a plethora of examples and easy-to-follow exercises, I can assure you that after reading this book, you will be able to create your own dynamic, database-driven web application using 100% python.
Best of all, this 341-page book is only U.S. $12.50 (yes, twelve U.S. dollars and fifity cents).
You may buy and download the book from lulu.com at: http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/web2py/4968879.
web2py is a free, open-source web framework for agile development of secure database-driven web applications; it is written in Python and programmable in Python. web2py is a full-stack framework, meaning that it contains all the components you need to build fully functional web applications.
Cheers,
