Python 3 has a number of issues with web development thus far: WSGI[1] 
(PEP 333) isn't directly compatible with Python 3, for one.

However, PEP 3333 is looking good[2] for making web framework code 
compatible with Python 3 without needing too much modification.  I'm 
not sure what the state of affairs is for PEP 3333 or Python 3 
compatible frameworks, however.  (CherryPy -might- be compatible, I can 
not recall.)

Basically this means that using Python 3, you'll be "roughing it" for a while.

On the other hand, I'm working on PEP 444[3] (WSGI 2) and have a highly 
performant web server compatible with Python 3 available[4] that is 
compatible with PEP 444 as published on Python.org[5] (master branch) 
and with my rewritten draft (draft branch, to be merged when my rewrite 
is complete and published on Python.org).  Another developer and I have 
been working on the WebOb-style helper exceptions and wrappers, from 
which a microframework can quickly spawn.

The HTTP server has 100% coverage (master) and near-100% coverage 
(draft) and compatibility with Python 2.6+ and 3.1+.

Have a great day,

	- Alice.
