What 'flexibility' are you talking about? This seem to be very biased
statement, based on lack of according python experience.

There are many python web frameworks which allow you to use w/e
interfaces, template languages and ORMs you want - Pyramid/Pylons is
good example.
'Very powerful' and 'great' are 'very useless' descriptions of these
modules. Please, show us what exactly is so 'advanced' about them
which cannot be done in python.
