I would second that suggestion. If you start down the road with TG using Genshi, SA, and maybe even Tosca Widgets and Routes, nothing you learn will be wasted regardless of whether you switch to Pylons or the projects merge or whatever. SA alone is so great I wouldn't consider anything that did not support it.
