I'm not a programmer by profession, but I use Python a lot. For
example, I use it to interface with the 90+ tables of Drupal directly
to avoid php. Drupal is just horrible with all dependencies and
trying to get the proper data displayed. Php just isn't my thing and
you seem to spend ages with troubleshooting, figuring out how to do
things.

In Python I can easily get the data I want, but I don't really
understand the advanced templating and URLconfig in Django yet. I
think I can make the apps I want (or rebuild existing ones), but
putting these together is my problem. On internet and in the books not
a lot of information can be found on integrating say 10 different apps
on a single page.
