Question

What is better for web development Python+Django or PHP+Symfony ? And why?

Answer 1

Both are said to be equivalent in quality. I prefer django, I find it easier to user for project handling and so.

The main difference is to find a webhosting that uses the "good" technology to host the django project: cgi is often provided but it's definitely not the best way to handle it. Meanwhile, Symfony has no complex dependances.
