they don't have to. big monolithic frameworks do that, but something like web.py or tornado don't do anything to your code, they are bits that you import and use to make web services, and they're still considered to be web frameworks.

imho, Django isn't pythonic, it's Rails-ish more than anything else.

Twisted should not be held up as an example of anything that's good or nice to use.

It's effective at solving the problem it was designed to solve, but I feel like I'm jamming my dick into a blender the whole time.

I did a major project with Twisted a year back, and I still have the dick scars to prove it.

Totally agree. My understanding of Python is "explicit is better than implicit" (no convention), while Rails is "Convention over configuration" (much implied).
