I'd have a hard time categorizing mod_python as a "web development framework"; it seems to me to be primarily a Python accelerator for Apache, with lightweight tools which could be used in web development to ease certain low level tasks. But it hardly seems to be a framework in the modern sense. There's TurboGears (my preference), Django, Pylons, CherryPy, and... numerous others, depending on how much of a framework you're looking for. You can use mod_wsgi to accellerate lots of these frameworks in Python and Apache. But a more specific answer is hard without you defining what you're looking for in a "web development framework" that is "easy to maintain" -S
