There are 15 comments already...

It's certainly true that there is nothing like J2EE for
Python. There isn't one standard networked and component
based framework for Python.

On the other hand, there are plenty of frameworks already,
and most of the big ones have Python support.

Python supports CORBA, XML-RPC, SOAP etc. For someone who
wants a pure Python based web development framework, the
main contenders are Zope (which is mainly geared towards
web content management) and Twisted (which can talk in a
lot of different network protocols--great if you want both
HTTP, NTTP, GUI, IRC and e-mail access to your app for
instance). Other frameworks, such as PEAK and Webware and
many others are also being actively developed.

See for instance:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/WebProgramming
http://colorstudy.com/docs/shootout.html
http://www.thinkware.se/cgi-bin/thinki.cgi/PythonForInternet

As you see, there is great diversity, and there is a feeling
within the Python community, that more collaboration and some
more standards are a good thing.

This has led to the creation of a new mailing list where this
issue is currently discussed. See comp.lang.python and archives
