I've tested a few, and when it finally came that I wanted and needed to 
do web application development in Python for real, I decided to use 
Snakelets.

So far, I find it a very convenient way to write web applications. It's 
also very close to how Java servlets/JSP pages work.

FWIW, the other frameworks I've tested thoroughly were Quixote and WebWare.

Snakelets Ypages come close to JSP.
