I'd like to do that, but I'm afraid of how much time and effort it would take. I really just wrote Pump/Picasso to use at our new startup, Beagle (http://beagleapp.com). I was expecting roughly this kind of response from the Python community, but who knows, maybe someone will use it.

I'd advise you to spend more of your time on building what's the core of your new business, because there are tons of higher priority things you'll have to accomplish. Web frameworks, even "lightweight" ones, in Python, is/was not an unsolved problem. Lots to choose from. Pick and go.

At the risk of sounding harsh: it's an incredible failure of time and project management for you to have written your own Python web framework as part of launching a startup.

This is particularly ironic given the premise of your startup is there are some things you don't have time to do that others can do for you.
