I'm totaly agree with this.  

I use python to make office intranet, web games, project management,
monitoring, forum... So much think that don't need the same framework,
the same server, the same template engine. I had to do my own framework
and it was very easy in python :-) Before for the sames things i had to
use php, java, C...

The slogan of python-for-the-web could be "so easy to do his own
framework" ! It was for this that i switched from php for python (did
you try to make a serious framework in php !?)

It was just difficult for me to decide if i must hack simplehttpserver
or choose one server in the jungle. I also had to make my own session
layer... 

I think wsgi adress this and it's very fine. We must just help
developpers to make theirs components wsgi compliants, more tutorials,
more examples like wsgikit. I personaly don't think we need to follow
ruby or php example. When somes frameworks will said "choose a wsgi
server from this list" we'll win :-)!
