You should definitely reconsider avoiding templates -- it's hard to imagine building a reasonably large webapp that didn't use them at all. Cheetah templates are a really, really good Python framework for writing templates, and the templates themselves that can use Python-like constructs, which make them pretty powerful. The standard way to do web programming in Python would of course be using something that ties into mod_python, but WSGI[1] has been brought into the language as of Python 2.5. Between Cheetah templates and the WSGI modules, you can put together a simple lightweight web framework in a couple hundred lines (or less) of Python. For my own personal website I threw together a really simple Python "framework" that runs as a daemon and uses WSGI and Cheetah templates, and it all ended up being only 150 lines of code, so I think this is a fairly good solution if you don't envision a huge/complex site. If you want to build a a much bigger site you should obviously look into the other frameworks that are available, particularly Django.
