Let me phrase my problem in a finer way. I have done simple projects in python. I wanted to explore web programming facet of python. The problem at my hand is to develop an email web client. I've developed web applications in PHP. I need to evaluate python-based web frameworks to make a smart choice of the web framework or a language like PHP, Perl based on performance predominantly. Do I make myself clear now? Thanks for all the help extended. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
