I am in the same situation as you. I was looking at Django and Turbogears. I have finally settled on CherryPy, which is also built into Turbogears.

Watching this Google talk on Youtube:

it seemed to me that Django is well suited for a developer team but is a bit sketchy when you try to scale it down to a single developer.

CherryPy seems to work well as a substitute for all-in-one-page CGI scripts without the respawning issues or as a proper MVC web application server.

I set up an account at Webfaction. They specialize in Python hosting and you can set up Turbogears, Django, CherryPy etc with a click of a button.

I would love to keep this thread going, please feedback as you move along, I feedback too

Hi,

I am writing this to tell my experience on web.py. Two weeks ago, I was looking for a python web framework that is simple, straight-forward, easy to use and powerful at the same time. Django stood out as the most popular when I googled. I tried to use django but I found that the framework hides alot of things from me and files are generated by the framework automaticaly and I felt like I wasnt in control. I know that django is powerful, but the learning curve is too steep for me and I need to develop my app as soon as possible. I decided to give web.py a try and I found that the framework is easy to use and it gives a lot of control to the developer when handling GET and POST request and all these can be done in a single source code and using this framework has taught me a lot of low level web application programming basics. I might be wrong as I havent try django or any other frameworks yet. Hope python gurus here can share their thoughts on these matters,
