Could someone please explain to me how the current python webframworks fit together? The three I've heard of are CherryPy, TurboGears and Pylons. However I'm confused because TurboGears seems to use CherryPy as the 'Controller' (although isn't CherryPy a framework in in it's own right?), and TurbGears 2 is going to be built on top of Py...

I am trying to set up form widgets for adding some objects to the database but I'm getting stuck because it seems impossible to pass any arguments to Widgets contained within a WidgetList.

I started out with Snakelets and heartily enjoyed being able to control almost everything at a lower level without much fuss, but then I discovered Tur...

I have been using Turbogears 1 for prototyping small sites for the last couple of years and it is getting a little long in the tooth. Any suggestions on making the call between upgrading to Turbogears 2 or switching to something like Django? I'm torn between the familiarity of the TG community who are pretty responsive and do pretty good...
