Only .tv and .bz are available (though .cx isn't listed on that)...
webware.tv doesn't seem quite right somehow...

webwarepy.* are available, as are webware-py.*, pywebware.*, and
py-webware.* -- none of these are that much better than webware.sf.net,
*but* it's entirely possible that something could happen to
SourceForge... probably something would take it's place and domain
names, but you never know... it would be nice to have an independent
existence.  

Webwareforpython.* and webware4python.* are not taken, of course.  Those
just role off your tongue, no?  Actually, do they role off the keyboard
well?

Another consideration is that Webware is a very, very generic name. 
Without losing "Webware", it might make sense to start qualifying the
name more fully.  So if WebwareForPython.org is long to spell, at least
when you refer to it you aren't being at all ambiguous.  It doesn't
matter on this list, since it's contextualized, but outside of the list
it could be a useful to better clarify the identity.  

I'm not sold on "for Python" as a good qualifier.  It's not like there's
a Webware for Java.  I assume Chuck would be much more open to new
adaptations to that portion of the name.  Nothing is coming to mind,
though.
