I am doing this as a learning exercise, though I hadn't realized
those are precisely TG's components.
TG tries to use a set of "best practice" components and glue
them together into a framework.
It started off using Kid/CherryPy/SQLObject then acquired
Alchemy as an alternative ORM and has now adopted Cheeetah
for templating so you can mix n' match by setting your config
options to select your favourite components, but the upper level
framework stuff works fairly transparently - obviously the templating
syntax depends on the engine you use and the ORM layer is
restricted to whatever features your chosen mapper supports but
the translation to python code is pretty seamless and portable.
I like the concept of TG but there are a few niggles with it. I'm
just learning Django at the moment so can't really make any
proper comparisons yet.
