Yeah, I like turbogears as well.  I was using cherrypy before turbogears
borrowed it, and have a hard time remembering that turbogears has more than
just cherrypy (pretty much just use cherrypy still, even though it's called
tg).  It's a bit weird with TG2 now moving to pylons - which is not
cherrypy.  I don't know how I feel about that lol!

But no, you won't be wasting your time.  Many of the python frameworks do
share similar concepts, even if they come at it from different
perspectives.  And they are all better than plain php, although many of my
php developer friends would argue that whatever php framework they use is
just as good :)  Turbogears will be around for a long while, even if it
seems django is winning at the moment.  There are many developers and many
people using it, so it has a long life ahead.  Even if it didn't get
expanded though, what's there currently is plenty to support any web
application you would want to make.

In my experience php bugs are harder to spot than python bugs.  Generally,
most python bugs will cause an error while most php bugs wont.  But this is
a python developers perspective of php and not the other way around, soyour
milage may vary.  But be on the lookout for this anyway.  You cant just let
an error pass by and test a different part of the page.  It's a bit
different development style than php.
