Except that the language is Ruby and the framework is Rails.  Also under 
Python, the 2 most popular frameworks are Django and Turbogears (vers 2 
includes Pylons).  I just like webpy since it's very lite, like 
codeigniter.  Also Smalltalk is certainly not strange to most 
programmers and some of the top programmers have talked about Seaside as 
interesting - do a google.

One other note - as a company you want a framework that has an strong, 
active community (something that will last and be improved) and of 
course clearly documented open source so if it does cease or is 
replaced, you still have access to the version code all your IT is based 
on.   ie Kohana might be a great framework but at the moment I've never 
seen it mentioned on any planet and I would never base an important IT 
project on something little mentioned or risky.
