Django comes from the newspaper industry but it is broadly useful. Take 
a look at http://www.djangosites.org/ for many diverse examples.

TurboGears and Pylons are also popular and actively developed. web.py is 
a newcomer that attained instant fame because it was used to rewrite 
Reddit (from Lisp).

I think the differences between these are more a matter of taste than 
anything else.

Webware is from an earlier generation of Python web frameworks. That 
doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it, but AFAIK it never caught 
on the way the more recent ones have.
