i've only played a bit with Spyce.

you can use it as plain CGI, or you can use FastCGI or modpython.  your 
choice.

you can invoke python scripts which can make database connections.

database support isn't built into Spyce.  you get the python-wrapper for 
whatever database you want.  a bunch are available.  certainly all the 
major databases.

modpython has recently greatly expanded its scope.  now it includes PSP 
style functionality.  also session support.  seems to overlap pretty 
heavily/maybe subsume what Spyce does.

i tried asking on the modpython group for a comparison of modpython PSP 
v. Spyce PSP, especially  in terms on completeness, stability, scope, etc.

i triggered an interesting discussion of PSP-style templates, but no one 
directly answered my question.

Be advised also there are other python PSP-style projects out there, 
including one named PSP.

Also I hope you realize none of these projects are a CMS framework of 
any sort.  They are tools with which you could write your own.

I assume your CMS requirements are very minimal or you would avoid 
trying to reinvent the wheel.
