I am in the same boat as you, I need to rid myself of php, and ruby doesn't
"feel" right..
I like python for system admin stuff.. it seems everything has python
bindings :)

there are MANY micro frameworks, I have been following these guys for a few
years
http://www.pocoo.org/

specifically jinja2 and flask looks to be the best choice out of all the
options out there
