Hi, I am learning Python, and I was just wondering whether Python can achieve everything PHP does. I don't know PHP, but I know it's a server side scripting language, and it is often embedded in HTML pages. Can Python be used in the same manner, i.e. embedded in HTML or dishing out scripts from the server like PHP on its own, or does it require external stuff like Django or CherryPy for that, or is it that it cannot replace PHP at all? Same uestion goes for Perl as well. Does Python allow you to do shell scripting (I don't know anything about it) and stuff like Perl, or it does not? I apologize if the questions sound dumb, but I really need to know!

Yes, everything you can do in PHP and Perl can be done in Python.
