This thread interests me, if only because you and the original 
poster have such different perspectives from mine.  I'm confi-
dent that Python can support something like J2EE in a technical
sense, and also that J2EE is an important part of Java--but is
it a *good* part?  I'm sincerely unconvinced that there's much
there Python *should* emulate (apart from what Python already
has).  J2EE's certainly a marketing success; I don't know what
it teaches us about how to rationalize application development,
though.

I'm even more certain that there's no model in prospect for
organizing the current Python development team to create such
a framework.

Briefly, I see J2EE, like .NET, as aimed at the commodification
of application development.  It's aimed at "Enterprise" teams
of mediocre, alienated coders.  I have no enthusiasm for Python
competing with that approach.
