My comp.lang.python newsgroup posting from last week was in response to
someone who wanted to create their own, brand-new Python web framework,
and was asking for advice.  My response was basically that, although I
understand the attraction of doing it yourself, the current plethora of
frameworks is actually hurting Python as a language.  It would serve us
better to pick one or two of the good existing solutions, and
concentrate on making them "excellent".  Here's a tinyurl link to the
Usenet posting on Google:  http://tinyurl.com/lrlnv

I did, however, write a Wiki page several years ago giving my real-world
experiences with several of the then-popular solutions.  It's at
http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebSolutionComparison.

My current favorite is CherryPy with Cheetah.  I like the compactness,
simplicity, and deployment ease of CherryPy, and I really like the
expressiveness of Cheetah (which, by the way, also integrates quite well
with Webware).  However, ALL of this is so very personal that just
giving a recommendation is not particularly helpful.  I, personally,
like the ability of doing a little bit of computation in my templates,
which draws me to Cheetah.  Others find that thought horrifying, and
want a nearly pure separation of presentation from computation.

By the way, I don't want to seem to be detracting from Webware.  I know
this is a Webware mailing list, and Webware has been very, very good to
me.  I've just drifted away, so to speak.
