As far as messaging frameworks go, for something a bit different, have a
look at OSE. The web site is:

  http://ose.sourceforge.net

It contains Python interfaces for a HTTP servlet framework, and a distributed
messaging framework. Thus, you can have a service in one process which you
send requests to from the HTTP servlet in a different process, using the
response to generate your HTML etc.
