Of course these questions are quite connected with personal opinion, and since I'm the author of "Python in a Nutshell" (3rd edition due out any day now), you can guess where my bias lies:-). Still, FWIW, here are my opinions (hope others chime in!-)...:

I've wasted too much time in my life debugging boilerplate code resulting from code generation: nowadays I insist on writing the code myself in the first place (less likely to need debugging, and if it does at least I should know why I coded the way I did, right?-). For Datastore access, I use ndb (comes with App Engine Python, and was originally authored by Guido van Rossum), not any framework that was designed to talk SQL and gets shoehorned into NoSql willy-nilly:-)... > I want to invest the time and effort to re-tool and up-skill, but as a > *N*ewbie > *S*eeking *A*dvice on Python Frameworks, I could use some solid advice > from you. > HTH!
