favorite python web development tool?

hi all -
i'm fairly new to python, coming from a java servlet / velocity template
background. i'm looking for a good python web development tool, and
hope to find some suggestions here.

given my background, webware+cheetah feels comfortingly familiar, and
i'm leaning toward it. before i dive in, though, i'm wondering what you
experienced users think about it, compared to the other tools that are
out there. eg, does the python environment have strengths that are
better exploited with something other than a servlet-like model?
thanks for your thoughts!

My favourite is Quixote. Although I haven't used Webware much one thing
I can say is that Quixote is easier to grasp than Webware. It has simple
and powerful concepts and as a Python programmer I found it quite
intuitive. I think Quixote PTL (Python Template Language) is also the
'right way' to do web templates. With PTL, you reuse a lot of Python
knowledge instead of having to learn yet another template language.

I've found mod_python + ZopePageTemplat es (standalone) to be superb
solution to web application development. ZPT feels like a very natural
and maintainable way to separate business logic from presentation. Since
I've started using these two technologies, I've found my productivity
greatly increased.

Have fun and take care ;-)

I like using mod_python and XML-RPC. Develop the logic as a backend and
then use a frontend to talk to that backend and to do whatever
input/output processing needs to be done to make it all into a web app.
I like that the frontend can actually be written in other languages as
the situation requires and that in fact it doesn't even need to be a web
app at all. I've written MPXMLRPC backends with PHP web-based frontends
and wxPython frontends both. Pretty sweet.

Well, I'm currently writing my first app with Zope, and I find it a
wonderful (but alas very badly documented) tool, at least compared with
PHP. I wrote in 3 days what would have took me *at least* twice that
time with a PHP based solution.

I can't tell you much about other python-based solutions since I did not
try them.

I have used Albatross (
http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/albatross ) to be a fast and
easy to learn, powerful, and flexible toolkit. Used on a LAPM (linux,
apache, python, mysql) box. MVC architecture is promoted and the
view-side tags are extremely simple, most are easy enough for a designer
to grok in one telling and run with later on. Which says a lot, IMHO.
Other than Albatross, I also looked at Quixote, and it seemed fairly
swell, too. ;)
