python vs java on web service development?

i am currently using php as backend language in webdevelopment. but im wondering what you need to install to get running with python and java.

with php i need apache and mysql.

can i use those for java and python too?

i cant find good guides equivalent to LAMP/MAMP/WAMP so i understand the parts when using either java or python. would be great if you could give me some good links on the installation and what is required.

and i have read that its easier with python. but is this the only advantage of using python instead of java. cause with java i can create java applets, desktop and mobile applications. they all tend to have java installed. but not python.

so why should i use python instead of java.

web2py is a python web framework that is completely self-contained, runs portably off a USB drive even. The manual is available on scribd, and after an hour or two of tutorial you will have a pretty good idea of what a python web framework will be like. I can't comment on Java at all.

EDIT: Django and web2py are very, very similar. I think I prefer web2py because it does more for me that I don't have to do, but from the POV of, say, Java frameworks, Django and web2py may as well be the same thing.
