Webware for Python

I'm just getting started writing a mid sized dynamic site and after a little
fustration doing it myself and I started to look towards what other people
are doing.  I was never quite sure I was doing it right, especially in
regards to logging in a user and keeping it secure.  The web isn't much help
since search for CGI related subjects gets 90% basic tutorials, creating
forms and the like.  I know how to work with Pythons CGI library and
implement a basic page or two, but I wanted information on how to build more
of a larger dynamic site securely.  So I started looking for Python source
of what people have already done and stumbled across a list of web modules
at: http://www.paul.boddie.net/Python/web_modules.html
and of course saw the listing for webware and it may be what i need but I
just wanted to clarify a few things.

    For deployment it said that webware was: CGI, FCGI, own server, embedded
in Apache using mod_python and in AOLserver using PyWX so do I take it right
that it means that it can be simply used just like the CGI module but yet
can still be embedded or requires all of the above?  I'm hosted on a virtual
web server and so I don't have the privleges to install heavy apps into the
system.

    Is webware easy to set up and use?  Also for testing purposes I'm using
the Xitami web server on my own computer so hopefully it will work well with
that as well.  Any problems I should know about that would interfere with me
setting this up?

    Well thats about it I think.  Thanks for your time.  I'm not subscribed
to this list, so if you could reply directly to me, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
