Kg, Since we are on the topic of frameworks, have you looked at Scala and the Lift Framework? What I find amazing is the performance - it is on par or slightly faster than plain Java on many benchmarks. To put that in perspective, it is several times faster than groovy, ruby and python. This is because scala runs directly on the JVM.
Take a look: http://liftweb.net/ By the way, I have done considerable programming on python and have used plone. Fact is, I have used plone to run our own intranet here at Songbird. I think it is an excellent framework - but a bit complicated to customize. If you prefer using Python and like more speed, you can look at the upcoming Cobra language. http://cobra-language.com/docs/python/ They are porting this to work over the jvm as well. May be interesting to port Django over to use Cobra. Cobra and python are similar enough and so it may not be that difficult.
