The three leadings Python Web/MVC frameworks are Django, Turbogears
and Pylons. Django is perhaps the most easy to geat started with, but
it's a bit monolithic IMHO. Turbogears and Pylons may be a bit more
complex to get started with, but are also much more flexible. My
personal favorite is Pylons.
