Anyway, doomsday thoughts aside: we don't need new frameworks, or even new amalgamations of existing projects. I think we need to make the existing frameworks easier to use. Python Paste and WSGI in general will help with this by standardizing deployment, but we need more and better documentation aimed at beginning users.
One of the things I've been experimenting with in Paste is fully doctested tutorials. I'm optimistic about it -- certainly the structure needs to be better filled out, but I think it is useful. WSGI and some of the other Paste utilities help quite a bit. I always feel like when I write docs and tutorials I'm planting a bulb that will grow into a beautiful flower, but usually the garden gets paved over before spring. Heh, that's a stupid metaphor. But anyway, if documentation can be cumulative instead of temporary it makes a huge difference, and testable documentation is necessary for that.
