Nor that a framework could lack key features and make up for it with pretty docs. I just think with the proliferation of Python web frameworks with similar feature sets (in the broadest sense), being "easy to use" is going to be a key selling point. Either way, please keep posting! I'm sure a lot of people would like to follow along with your experiences. :) Oh, I definitely agree with you. :)

I don't want to settle on one frame work, develop the app, and then later on find out it cannot be deployed on my cheap-ass web host (I know I should spend more :) Something with good documentation and is quick to get started will definitely be valued at the first look -- but quality code and good features are also important. I might have very different opinions after digging through enough code :) If you read my post you’ll find out that one significant deciding factor is ease of deployment, i.e. I don’t need to play around with Python Egg to get Django running on a shared box.
