Most important, what can you use ? 
If you are independ, this means have your own dedicated or virtual
server, then i would suggest webware which is the most sophisticated
real python (Zope is not python) solution. Twisted is more a server
framework then a web solution.

If you don't want a app server then use mod_python with one of the ten
web frameworks. Look at www.python-hosting.com for a list. I recommend
Quixote or Sypce.
