Does it make sense to make a social-network-like website with Python?

Question

A website where has users and certain functionalities. Or is PHP way better?

Answer 1

Yes, it make sense... But finding compatible hosting will not be as easy than finding a Php compatible host ( which are almost all )

Answer 2

As an example: Google uses Python to highlight important search results.
But PHP has an 'easier' syntax and Communication Protocol.

Really, PHP is usually paired with
HTML
CSS
JavaScript
.
Go ahead and use it if you'd like.
