<div>Spent the last 30 mins looking at webpy. At the outset, looks pretty good/attractive, however, I'm yet to see a very professional / complex website developed using WebPy. WebOS might've been good, but looks like it's shut down, and the next best is <a href="http://jottit.com">jottit.com</a> ... </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyhow, as you say, this simplistic anti-framework might be a better place to start.<br> </div>

Its close enough to CGI in the sense that you don't have to understand frameworks, MVC, MTV (as in Django), at the same<br>time you don't have to reinvent the wheel for db handling, templating, handling requests, sessions etc.<br>
<br>Once you grok "web programming", look around. The choices are endless.. After all we are pythonistas.<br>we don't have religions masquerading as web frameworks.<br><br>Saying Hello world in web.py is as simple as:<br>
-------------------<br>import web<br><br> urls = (<br> '/(.*)', 'hello'<br> )<br><br> class hello:<br> def GET(self):<br> print 'Hello world!'<br><br> if __name__ == "__main__": web.run(urls, globals())<br>
