Thanks for all the replies I got.

I will take the 'traditional' route, and probably go with cherrypy first,
but will still keep an eye on webpy.

I'm very happy to see that these frameworks deliver ~10 pages per second
(cherrypy) or ~3.5 pages per second (webpy) out of the box on a system
that is 50 times slower than a typical desktop PC.  Of course these
were very short pages.


The other ideas that were posted, the SIMPL toolkit and the
'Batteries Included! Python on Low Cost Tiny Embedded Wireless Devices'
stuff, are very interesting as well, but not for this project.  Food for
thought, at least.


Thanks again,
Thomas
