[Tutor] web development

Earlier this month, Kent posted that Jython and Velocity are a good way to develop dynamic web sites. After a little searching, it seems that there are quite a few options for web development in Python (perhaps too many?). So, rather than ask for recommendations of which one to use, what I woul
