While i've heard that Mochikit might be more Pythonic than Prototype but i personally don't really care (yet) as i don't plan to get my hands dirty on javascript anyway. The cool thing about Prototype is not really the library itself but the RailsHelpers package that comes with Pylons. This way you don't need to write any javascript at all. Just look at a nice (python) function in the RailsHelpers package you want to use. Put it in your template. And your done! All javascript gets generated for you. You really don't need to know anything about asynchronisity, javascript or xml and still be able to impress your friends by saying that you use AJAX.
