A couple of months ago I took the time to read a few articles on python
web application frameworks and I got the impression that the two most
mature and active projects are Zope and Django.
They are both mature and widely used, but for quite different markets.
TurboGears is a more direct competitor to Django and there is no
competitor (in the Python world) to Zope
This [1] graph seems to corroborate my final impression (i.e. that
django is the way to go).
I believe my needs are quite ordinary: my customers are typically small
businesses needing to process their data on a single server, sometime
exposing part of the application as front-end to the customers
That sounds like Django to me. Zope is better suited to large scale
corporate type scenarios with high volumes. If Zope can't cope
you really need to move to the big guns like BEA Weblogic etc..
But for SMEs Django (et al) is ideal.
