Going Open (almost): Moving from MS/ASP to LIN/Py

I'm doing a case study (well, hoping to) on a migration from Win/ASP/SQLServer to a Linux/Pylons/Pgsql codebase.

I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts, pointers or experience in making such a dramatic shift.

+1 A:

I have no experience with ASP or Pylons/Pgsql, but I did do a serious project in Django, and I recommend that.

Here are some SO links discussing ASP vs. Python and/or Django:

Second the django vote. It's a joy to work with, and the docs make everything that much better.

Thanks, my question wasn't very clear. I'm doing the case study for my MBA, we've already started moving things from ASP to Pylons.I'm trying to do a business side justification for that.I third the Django vote, those docs are gorgeous.
