I'm in the same boat.... a few weeks in.....

I've found that most of the python frameworks are based on the python  
cherrypy server. Thats a good place to work out how the webserver part  
of the non-zope systems work. ie django etc

So that is the webserver part....

then you need to build your webpages....

I have found Cheetah.... which is pretty powerful... that is a  
templating system to build the actual pages from the database content...

that works nicely...

obviously django and pylons wrap all these basics into a 'product'...

so it depends if you want to learn all the basic pieces  
(CherryPy/Cheetah)... or jump straight into the high level stuff  
straight away (pylons/django)...

depends how much money your boss is throwing your way i guess....
