I just want to throw in my comments here and say that...

I am currently using Albatross to develop a somewhat complex application
which will be used by customers for accessing and managing an account.

I've been working on the project for 5 weeks so far. That includes my time
to "learn Albatross".

The learning is steep initially, but I am at the point where I COMPLETELY
appreciate the separation of the presentation and the implementation that
the Albatross framework uses. This means I can focus on one or the other
separately. Really cool, and once you get used to it, it makes the work go
faster, seems to me.

:)

There are a lot of Python web frameworks to choose from and I spent about a
week reviewing possible contenders. May have been others that would have
done well for my case, but I am very happy with the choice I made for
Albatross. Session management is a snap. :)
