Interesting. So I guess to accomplish my goals, I'll have to explore one of these frameworks.

Using bare CGI, you'll rapidly find you have to set up some common things like sessions, templating, url to actions dispatch etc - IOW, reinventing the (square) wheel. So unless your goal is to learn the "low-level" parts of web programming (which is a very legitimate goal - as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to see more 'web developpers' doing so), my advice is also to look for a simple, flexible, non-intrusive framework (web.py and Pylons come to mind). My 2 (euro) cents. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
