I haven't tried webpy but I have used django. django has a tutorial that takes a couple of hours to set up and go through completely. Its not just reading, its hands on trying out a small website. It gives a very good understanding of what the framework offers, and how difficult (or easy!) it is to use. If webpy has a similar tutorial, I would start there, or try django. After the tutorial, the discussion becomes a lot more concrete and less theoretical as to whether that platform would be helpful -- Joel Goldstick http://joelgoldstick.com
