Python isn't necessarily the language for back-end web apps. Either use Go or Node.js. Go is phenomenal for the job because it's incredibly fast, yet its size is bloated so not good for storage-sensitive applications. Luckily, servers aren't storage-sensitive which is where it's supposed to run :) On the other hand, Node.js is delightfully tiny, only as big as the text file you made to run it. The down side is that it's much slower than languages like Go.
