"(the need for () at the end of each method call in Python was killing me)"
--Huh? This doesn't seem as an important point at all.
Plus, Django is not an elegant of a framework at all. The api has been developed as patchwork, and it's forms/views/models are easy if you use them for scafolding, but in real apps you have to do a lot of codding around to customize them.
eg. you can bind a form to a model, but you probably don't want to, or just print the forms (often you need your own look).
So, while on paper django looks good, in practice it can be frustrating.
Python is a great language, but OOP is not it's forte (at least not the kind of OOP you see in .net or java).
Just use something like web.py, on create your own framework. With python is very easy to do.
