Cymbeline is an application server framework, including functionality such as DB and arbitrary object pooling, web servers, persistant object repository, and a text console. It was originally designed as an administrative shell for an embedded system, but has since morphed into a more general purpose, run anywhere toolkit. Cymbeline is not under any active development. If you're looking for a Python based web framework, I would suggest CherryPy.
