I realized last week that I've done non-trivial web sites using 4 of the
available Python web architectures. I arrogantly thought that the
lessons I've learned might be of help to others trying to pick between
the plethora of Python web options, so I added a page to the python.org
wiki:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/WebSolutionComparison
These are just my personal opinions and observations, and of course it
only addresses the ones I've actually used. As always with a wiki, your
comments and observations are welcome.
The architectures I wrote about are:
* Straight Python CGI
* Webware WebKit by itself
* WebKit and PSP
* WebKit and Cheetah (my current favorite)
* CherryPy
* PHP (although it isn't Python, it's a useful benchmark)
