Hi Bernd,
I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience with TG.
TG Documentation is trying to improve but as people who contribute to
the doc part are few and often busy that process is a bit slowed down.

I have to say that for me TG is indeed quite good as a rapid
development framework, you can get your application working in the
paster serve development server on sqlite in a few second.

Deploying it is not really strictly related to being a "rapid web
development framework" it is mostly related to the technology/solution
that you use to deploy the software than the framework itself. If you
find the mod_wsgi deploying too confusing please consider deploying
the application with the proxied Service/Daemon methodology, for small
applications it works quite well and is easier to achieve.

I'm sure that the TG documentation will improve, in the mean time I
would suggest you to try to use the Service/Daemon deployment method
or follow the mod_wsgi guidelines for Pylons to quickly setup your TG2
application in a server.
