Not played with webware (although now you've alerted me to it's presence 
I'll take a look), but I did stumble across another Python-based network 
toolkit a while ago called "Twisted Python" <http://twistedmatrix.com/>.

It was originally written to support multi-user gaming, but it seems 
pretty cool. It has an odd configuration mechanism though: the philosophy 
is that you build up your server live, bit by bit, and then pickle it.
