Please use something like Tornado. A Cassandra web GUI should not require a heavyweight framework and hopefully nothing other than a Cassandra connection to run.

I made a proposal about building a Cassandra Web UI. One of it's main components, will be Python on the server side. However, as Gary D. pointed out, it will be interesting to get your opinions on which framework to use. I suggested Django for being well-known and largely documented, but any other would do. As far as my experience goes on web development, this is what I -IMHO- think of any web framework, despite the language: - Really small footprint is a plus: "do we really need to include that, and that, and that other thing?" - Flexibility and freedom of code, another plus: "do I really need to inherit that class to do that" - Unneeded features tend to get in our way: like the "auto admin" panels of Django. Or the "FormAlchemy" and "SQLAlchemy" features in Pylons. - Templating features should be truly flexible, and do fast template parsing. Well, suggestions are needed! I would like to know your opinions on Django, Pylons, web2py, TurboGears, etc. Regards!
