Hi,
I use Plone/Zope for and interface it with PostgreSQL . its pretty good. saves lot of time. ofcourse the learning curve is steep. Zope uses CSS heavily and since ur comfortable with it it shouldnt take muchtime building the site with much less coding in python.
regards,
KM

I think that Karrigell might do what you want, and you can read all
the (excellent) documentation in a few hours. Otherwise, specially if
you think you might get deeper into web-based stuff, with more
complex/special/whatever needs, I'd probably try Pylons (which has
also very nice and well organized docs). I have no direct experience
with Django or TG, but I find them "overwhelming", specially compared
to Karrigell; Zope I find even more overwhelming.
HTH,
