Very good points Anton. You pretty much summarized why I switched from Django to TG. And I hear you on the Drupal. While hacking on Drupal is a PITA, Drupal itself is a very nice product from a customers perspective. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before we see TG/Pylons based Drupals, and that will make it MUCH easier to convince clients to switch to python!
