Which Python web framework is most like Ruby on Rails?

[Jan Niklas Fingerle]

(as far as "depend" might go) the Kid funtionality (i.e. importing
ElementTree-s as sub-trees, and ElementTree is part of the heart of my
application logics).

If I might add: ElementTree will be part of python 2.5. That's a big
reason to let people import subtrees into the xml template as
ElementTrees. Thus using Kid you can use the standard lib for these
taskts, which would be a big point in favour of Kid.

Anyway, this...

Well, no, make it easy to change templating engines,
whatever you ship as included engine.

.... still holds.

Alternatively, counting Google hits:
rails python django 112,000
rails python subway 81,600
rails python turbogears 32,000

This isn't exactly "buzz", of course, but it's SOME measure of "critical
mass" -- and with django about equal to subway+turbogears, it does not
appear to show any emerging dominance. A significant measure of "buzz"
might be obtained by redoing the same search in, say, two weeks, and
noticing the deltas...

Hmm, on December 25, I re-did the numbers using google:

rails python django 138,000
rails python subway 66,000
rails python turbogears 46,000

Now, I coudln't resist doing it this way too:

python django 360,000
python subway 690,000
python turbogears 127,000

Unfortunately, no compelling trend emerges. This is the problem, I
think, no, trend, no clear winner (other than Rails;-)))

Python web frameworks, for the love of God, UNITE!!!!

One last comment:

This will work, I think, if and only if the "Consolidating" framework,
the one to be used to absorb the other(s) best aspects, makes immediate
and up-front, highly visible concession(s) so as to clearly
communicate a win-win scenario.

Yes, there is a clear winner : "python zope" = 3.950.000
