PerlEX has a lot of different aspects. What features are you looking for?
For Python application servers you should start with Zope
(http://www.zope.org)
or WebWare (http://webware.sourceforge.net).
I had a few bad experiences with Zope. This was due largely to the very bad
documentation and their annoying DHTML scripting language. But this
was over a year ago and their core architecture did have some neat features.
I have not looked at it recently, but I can't see them ditching DHTML
anytime soon.
I liked their object database, but it was very awkward to combine web pages
from the file system with web pages dynamically generated from their object
database.
In the end my main complaint is that the learning curve for Zope is very
much
against the Python way. I don't mean to totally condemn Zope. You should
certainly
review it. Many people love it and I can appreciate why. I may take another
look
some day.
I have only brief experience with WebWare, but it appeals to me more than
Zope.
WebWare is a less mature project with a smaller developer base. WebWare
features PSP (Python embedded in HTML) which is identical to ASP and JSP.
PerlEX has a similar feature. WebWare seems to have every feature advertised
by PerlEX.
Yours,
Noah
