I can vouch for what Paul says. I started in Python 3 years ago, and I
did so with a web application (still working on it!). I'm using the cgi
approach, and it certainly teaches you the concepts. I fail to see how
starting with a framework is a good idea if you don't know how the
frameworks work (or what they're actually doing). It would be a bit like
doing a web page in Dreamw***er and thinking you understand HTML/CSS.
I couldn't agree less. Using the CGI module is more akin to trying to
write Dreamweaver when you want to build a static website...
Just use 2.6 and pick a framework of your choice. From what the OP
described, Django or Pylons would fit the bill well.
