I would recommend web2py [1].

It supports (and comes with) jquery, has awesome ajax integration.

I have read (somewhere - I can't find the link now, you can probably  
google it) that it runs as fast or faster than django (and some other  
frameworks).

For Django VS web2py see [2]
For Turbogears VS web2py see [3]

For info on web2py and ajax see [4].

Also web2py supports SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, FireBird and Oracle  
databases - which is very cool for me as I often need to work on different  
RDBMS's. Internationalisation is also a cinch. Plus - you can run the  
whole framework from a USB drive and it includes a administrative  
interface with a text editor so you can code your project *entirely* in a  
web browser. It also runs on almost anything that supports python :  
windows, unix/linux, OS X etc. I also has a very active and helpful  
mailing list

I have tried a couple of other frameworks but only web2py gave me that  
'just right' feel. Don't, however take only my word for it - and try other  
frameworks to find the one that works for you. One is, fortunately, spoilt  
for choice with all the cool python frameworks these days. :)
