It is a very powerful tool. But for such a kind of questions I always ask "What is better, a big hammer or a small hammer?" Obviously, it is a wrong kind of asking the question. All depends on what are your needs. There are many cases when the bigger hammer would be pretty useless and you would prefer the smaller one and vice versa.

Python is advanced. Its on the same scale as C++, it's easier to learn but C++ is much faster. If you're into web development and not really into applications coding, then I wouldn't suggest trying to learn it.

You're not going to be able to wip out web applications within a week or two, but when you do learn it, you will be able to create anything your soul desires.

Not as powerful as that :P. I would reccomend PHP, much simplier to use than CGI and can *basically* do the same things (there are a few things each other can't do etc. :P)

CGI is a bit broad. It's basically any programming language used online, including C++. Perl is the most common, and it's the language I would prefer over all of them. However, it isn't the easiest language to learn. With PHP being easier, it kind of took over. It's not only easier to learn, it's also easier to find tutorials. Almost all of the Perl tutorials are from university websites, and they usually aren't even that current. What you find is bascially class lectures from 2002 or older, but the info is still good. I love Perl and would continue to use it, but I also know PHP. When it comes to quick and easy, nothing beats it.
