People keep talking about Python's wealth of web frameworks as if it were a bad thing. I just don't see it. Just like I like to have more than 1 or 2 languages available for programming, I like to have more than 1 or 2 web frameworks available for building web sites. That I can get the flexibility I want in this area *without* having to abandon Python is a plus for Python. Or are the web frameworks for the languages with an impoverished selection really that flexible? Is Ruby on Rail, for instance, really going to do the things that Zope does well almost as well as Zope does them, and the things that Cheetah does well almost as well as Cheetah does them, and the things that web.py does well almost as well as web.py does them? If that's the case, the complaint isn't "Python has to many web frameworks", it's "Python doesn't have a good web framework."
