As someone who has written many ASP (PHB .NET etc) pages this feature of
Python makes it almost completely unusable in that situation.
I do use it for some things but its just a computer language and any any
feature that seems to make one thing easier almost invariably makes
something else harder. At certain level of coding most python stuff
seems to write and compile C++ to get the job done!
