TurboGears will be what it has always been, a stack of best of breed
python components, wired together to provide a web experience that
gets you started quickly, and provides a robust web development
environment.   TurboGears 2 will provide Pylons with a set of standard
components, a new controller publishing API that is easier to get
started with than Routes, a bunch of additional rapid web development
tools, and a lot more developer attention.

Pylons provides a robust WSGI stack, and a clean way to reimplement
the TurboGears API in relatively little code.   And since Pylons has a
goal of being a framework that maximizes developer choices, people
have been pushing Ben and the rest of the pylons dev's to make a well
documented set of defaults, and to make the framework a bit easier for
new developers to learn.

In the new TurboGears+Pylons working together world, we're both able
to focus on the things that have made our individual frameworks
successfull in the past, and share development effort on lots and lots
of things.

So do answer your point, I think that working together with the Pylons
folks benefits everybody in both user communities, and helps to
strengthen both frameworks.
