I've become quite fond of Medusa, myself.  It's small, uses standard
Python (pure Python), is *not* under active development (a benefit, if
you think about it).  I've written a number of services using its
framework.

I haven't actually tried Twisted, because it seems overly complex for
the various tasks I want to perform.  I'm not interested in an
all-singing all-dancing Apache clone -- I'd just use Apache for that.
