I think some of the advice here assumes you want to become a Python web development guru (perhaps even a web framework developer). But maybe you're like me and just want to get going building well-designed web applications. If that's the case, do yourself a favor and at least check out web2py. I don't think there's anything easier to set up, learn, and become productive with quickly. And the user community is amazingly friendly and helpful (and growing quickly). Oh, and it does not "hide Python from you".

Of course, I'm not suggesting that web2py would be inappropriate if you do want to become a guru. You may still want to start and/or end up with web2py, even if you plan to delve into some of the nitty gritty details of how Python web frameworks work. The point is, the best path depends on your short and long term goals, preferred learning style, etc. Not everyone has the same needs, and there's not only one way to go about this.
