It the last 24 hours I've discovered the existence of both Django and TurboGears. I was blown away twice! After watching the Ruby on Rails video a few weeks ago, I was seriously doubting my future with Python... not anymore ;-) I have to say this is all very exiting.

I think you should mention Subway on the TurboGears website and explain why that isn't enough and wher eyour differences in philosophy are. How does Turbogears compare to Subway?

The screencast was definitely a huge plus. TurboGears looks like exactly what I wanted.

We have been a Webware/Kid/SQLObject/scriptaculous shop, so to speak, but the combo of CherryPy/Kid/SQLObject/mochikit is really appealing. We're already building some small internal tools with it and it's a joy to work with!

I hadn't take the time to "glue" it all together. I get the feeling that there are several other people like me. It looks like you have done a fine job of gluing things together. I think that is why so many people are checking what you have done out. Would that make us all glue sniffers? I have been poking around with CP, SO and cheetah off and on for a while.

I'd glanced at CherryPy and other frameworks and when I saw how quickly you were able to crank out a working application, I thought it was worth checking out. As a total Python neophyte the documentation you've provided along with the strong Python documentation have really gone a long way to making me comfortable in this new environment. Keep up the good work. Kevin, I have to admit that your screencast was the tipping factor in choosing to learn more about TurboGears.

Bravo, the popularity of this project busted through the ceiling and already has a following. The community of python developers will contribute to this project in no time, the future of TurboGears is bright :) -Scott Oertel I really have to say that after further testing of TurboGears it’s definalty a solid framework for developing and launching webapps quickly.
