WebFrameworks
There are a number of python based web frameworks and I won't try to give a complete roundup here.
On Pylons and TurboGears mergeing there is a good group list posting which I won't duplicate here.
All of them claim and to offer easy one step installs and with varying degrees deliver on that.
Zope
Zope and Plone. Complex workflow capabilities. For a small development effort it is overkill in the extreme. If you are creating submitting and publishing content but performing all of the roles yourself, you have made life way too complicated.
It comes with it's own database ZODB. Object databases are something I have always been suspect of. Publishing objects. Articles, Events or custom objects.
Frustration comes the first time you try to modify an object. Why, in an agile programming environment with an object oriented programming language and database can you not subclass and Event to do something as simple as add a field or attribute. They have Location and Time, I want to add Speaker and I cant???
Django
TurboGears
TurboGears Quick and dirty, lean and mean.
