Web presentation layer/framework for python - recommendations?

[Anthony.Hornby at cdu.edu.au]

Hi,
I am a python newbie and need some advice.
I have been charged with redeveloping a web application with a front end written in python that has a backend of XML files.
Currently it doesn't adequately separate out the presentation code from the content code.
Frankly it’s a mess (think bowl of spagetti).

Does anyone have any recommendations for python toolkits or templating systems that would simplify the cleanup and make the code more maintainable in the future? I am a newbie, but not afraid to have a go. I also haven't done any real application programming for a while - bit of perl and java stuff a few years back. Just do perl/python/shell scripting these days.

All comments welcome :-)

Regards Anthony.
