I'm thinking of switching from my Twisted-HTTP-server-project to CherryPy or Snakelets etc etc. The project involves alot of database-access using SQLObject and SQLite ( perhaps MySQL and PostgreSQL in the future ) and some heavy IO-stuff ( scanning of local filesystem to extract meta information about images and storing this info in the database. This won't happen too often though).
I don't expect this project to have alot of traffic once online, but it would kinda suck if my software couldn't handle it if it really took off. So my question is; based on the very brief description above, are there any of the python-based frameworks that fits my project better than the others? And are there some of the frameworks that doesn't scale particulary well? Benchmarks anyone? My main focus is simplicity, one of the main reason I'm looking for something else than Twisted. I'm a little conserned about the threading-issues when using thread-based frameworks though, but if speed and scalability would increase dramatically I'm inclined to struggle with the threads anyhow. Snakelets and CherryPy both look interesting compared to Twisted ( and CherryPy seems to have some code available using SQLObject allready, while Snakelets does not, so I'm leaning towards CherryPy at the moment ). I want to use ZPT or simpleTAL for templating and SQLObject for database-access etc if that makes any differences. Thanks for any input you might have.
