I myself am also into (very) simple web apps and hence simple, easy-to- learn web frameworks. CherryPy is a very nice kit, still simple enough but already (IMO) somewhat on the powerful, batteries-included side for a beginner -- and, as you noted, a bit under-documented at the moment. There are a couple of others that will get you started without too much effort (in part because simplicity is one of their design points) and without limiting you too much either : Karrigell by Pierre Quentel and Snakelets by Irmen de Jong. They're somewhat similar in scope and concept : it will be mostly a matter of which one 'fits your brain' best. Myself I settled on Snakelets, not least because it has some of the better docs out there. > BTW, there are other people who seem to have been also confused by the > wide spectrum of choices for this problem: That's an old debate in the Python world, yes. The "one true way to do it" motto of the language itself doesn't apply to its web frameworks :) See the recent "Ruby on Rails" threads for a discussion of whether this is good or bad... -- YAFAP : http://www.multimania.com/fredp/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
