We will use Webware for Python (http://webware.sourceforge.net/) for our
next project. It is a framework and an application server written in Python.

What I especially like in Webware is that you don't have to develop "in two
worlds", as with Zope. You can develop all application code in the file
system (and thus use advanced editors, CVS, etc.).
