This reminds me, whatever happened to Turbogears? Are many people using it? I never really hear people mention using it compared to Django.
I thought long and hard about the "Should I learn Django or Turbogears" question 3 or four years ago, and went with Django. Back then, Django was not yet the "default" answer.
The TG, Pylons, and Zope guys all joined forces under the Pyramid banner a couple of years ago. There are still people developing in each of those three projects (and I think it's largely still maintained), but the definite trend is to Pyramid itself.
