Hi Paul, thanks for the reply (despite the sarcasm ;-) ),

Of course, but that doesn't mean that there isn't someone out there who
may know of a framework that is already Python3 compatible, or is being
worked-on.

Ok - I'll look into it.

I haven't zoomed-off anywhere yet - in fact I've hardly started. I made
the decision to start with 3.1 based on the fact that it was the latest
version, and hoping that there may be some framework stuff out there
(because 3.0 has been out for a while now). However, it looks as though
I might have to review that decision, but what I've learned so far is
pretty simple stuff, so it won't be wasted.

I am very much new to Python, and one of my first projects is a simple
data-based website. I am starting with Python 3.1 (I can hear many of
you shouting "don't - start with 2.6"), but as far as I can see, none
of the popular python-to-web frameworks (Django, CherryPy, web.py,
etc.) are Python3 compatible yet.
So, what can I use to start my web programming experience using 3.1?

Anyway, for simple web programming, frameworks are not worth the
hassle. Just use the cgi module.
If you want to use a framework, well, you are the one who decided to
zoom off into the 3.1 wilderness before the framework developers got
there. If you're an experienced programmer in other languages and
you're determined to use a framework, maybe a worthwhile Python
learning project would be to help port your favorite framework to 3.1.
