web.py is a lot of fun, isn't it? My favorite part is that you can fit the whole app in one file, if you want to (since templates, database models, etc. are all optional). It's the Python web framework that gets closest to the PHP experience of instant results.
Django is probably a better choice for jumping right into CRUD apps and numbing the pain of SQL, though. There's more to deal with up front, but you have a more complete system after the first hour than you do with web.py.
Word, I love web.py's flexibility as you have stated you can fit the entire app into one file. Or you can break it down to many pieces. I tend to favor the latter as it allows me to structure the app the way I want.
