Python goodies
Stuff I gathered lately: * "logging":http://www.red-dove.com/python_logging.html, a JSR47/log4j-inspired Python logging package * "Cheetah":http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/, a templating engine for Python Stuff I'm missing out: * a webapp development framework that integrates well with Apache, without requiring mod_python or the installation of a standalone service, while still offering reasonable speed, higher-level constructs like session persistence and hopefully some Py/db mapping * Komodo depending on a standalone Python install, and not on his own copy

Very interesting one:
http://webware.sourceforge.net/

Unfortunately this needs mod_webkit or standalone service. If you have not yet looked at it, I'll suggest that you should at least check it out.

Yep, I saw that one, but unfortunately it can't easily set up in the usual shared hosting locations. Any others? Thanks!

May I suggest you look into Quixote?

http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/quixote/

It runs as a CGI under Apache, and also has some other integration options, and it has session management features. It does not have built-in OR mapping, but you can add on something like Modeling, http://modeling.sourceforge.net/ or something similar.

Any news on this front?

I need to make a choice for a server side technology. I worked with JSP's and servlets (Tomcat), done a bit of PHP. But I would dearly like to use something that allows me to work in Python.
