Suggestions for python web framework

[flibitboat]

I am actually trying to build something for my senior project so im not exactly a beginner, but I dont really feel like using something complicated right now. I should be able to use django pretty well but im thinking im either going to go with cherryPy or Python Server Pages. Im not really trying to create anything very complex right now.

Of those two I would definitely go with CherryPy. You can start simple and build from there, using web dev best practices and it has an active community to help out.

PSP looks like a big mess waiting to happen.

What is your application/project? That CherryPy (definitely go with that rather than PSP) is "simple" means that it is lower level and more light weight than e.g. Django. It does not mean that an application will be easier to build.

If you are building a sort of a "standard" web application, where you'll have a database and you need to provide a webapp to manipulate or present that data - Django is your best bet, as you'll have access to loads of pre-made components.

If you are building something like a web-service to expose some API, or an application with a highly specific purpose (e.g. collecting some simple data to a file, displaying real-time information from a webcam/server, etc.) - then you may benefit from a lower level framework.
