You may want to look at either of the popular frameworks, TurboGears http://www.turbogears.org/ or Django http://www.djangoproject.com/
I have very little experience with both, but I decided to try learning the Django framework after watching the Snakes and Rubies videos. (See http://www.djangoproject.com/snakesandrubies/ ) I am working my way through the Django tutorials and am very impressed and looking forward to deploying it on my own site. The admin interface that you get basically "free" is a very slick touch, especially with all the widgets. My recommendation is to check out Django's admin interface (see Adrian Holovaty's presentation of Django in Snakes and Rubies and http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial2/ ) and see if that won't do the trick for allowing easy content contribution without the contributors having to know any of the Python, HTML, or CSS behind the pages.
