Hi Francois, I'm getting more open to considering other frameworks. As I 
mentioned earlier, I am aware that I am swimming against the current by 
not simply using Apache 1 and PHP, so I wanted to avoid investing in yet 
another esoteric piece of software. Thankfully, after a discussion with 
some prospective hosts today, I have the freedom to consider CherryPy 
and Django.

Oh, it's not that I have anything against Apache 2. My preference is to 
work with mod_python 3, and that requires Apache 2, which I want. I was 
just considering a less desirable pythonic option. Even among commodity 
shared hosting providers I've found the presence of earlier versions of 
python and mod_python.

Thanks Francois. I am going to stick with Python for this. As it turns 
out, I'll have the freedom to use the software configuration I want, so 
now I don't have to worry about committing to Python, only discover that 
my Python code is useable only as a prototype for PHP or Perl. :)
