I'd like to create a couple of websites on my Mac at home. I have a very basic understanding of HTML, but am lazy and would prefer to do the work either in Python itself or have some package I can use in conjunction with Python.
You're not going to get anywhere without learning (x)html and css IMHO. Even using a "graphical" html editor like Dreamweaver requires having a good enough (IOW : being able to do it all by hand) knowledge of these languages.

I've had a very quick look at the Django and Turbogears websites. Is it worth learning one of these for a small, simple site?
Depends on what your "site" is doing.
Will they actually help me set up the structure of the site,
Nope, or not much.
or are they more geared to its content.
Content, definitively.
I'm also trying to find/download HTMLgen. If I try to install the version from macports it tries to downgrade my installation of Python to one of the previous versions. Is it worth using and where can I find a copy that I should be able to build/install cleanly on a Mac.
There are quite a couple other (and more recent) "html generator" packages. You may want to have a look at brevé:
