Python itself comes neither with an ORM, nor with a HTML 
generating/mapping framework.

So yes, if you want something like that, need something like rails or 
django. Or TurboGears.

For example, you can use SQLAlchemy as ORM, and RUM as frontend for it. 
I'm not sure if it fullfills your requirements though.
