Thanks Rune. I've already checked out Django and TG and have found both the projects to be a little misguided. I think the one great thing they have over Rails is the use of SQLObject because the implicit mapping of data models via the "plural" approach of Rails is a bit of a quirk to me, I just don't like it, it leaves too much room for human error due to lack of control.
Having said that, neither TG or Django seem to have the learning material available on an equivilent standard to Rails. Maybe it's just because they're more immature and thus Rails has got the head start here. I guess more than pointing out a few URLs I was looking for some peoples honest opinion on why they would chose one over the other (besides the basis of language alone). I'm just trying to source the most viable option at the moment, trying to find something to offer quickly without resorting to *shudders* Spring or the like. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
