Last time, the answer could be summarized as "Django but ...", with Pylons and Flask getting a good mention. Have these now "overtaken" the incumbent? What about Web2Py?
Flask is nicer (and lets you seamlessly use SQLAlchemy, which is so much better than Django's crappy ORM), but also tiny. It's basically just a bit of glue between werkzeug, SQLAlchemy and Jinja2.
Pyramid has more things in it than Flask and also uses SQLAlchemy.
web2py appears both bad and unpopular to me.
We have found Django to be great for throwing up a site quickly. We primarily use Pyramid now for our more serious development as it fits more with what we're trying to achieve. My feeling is the beauty of Python is that there are more than one ways of doing something. Define what you want out of your framework, try some and then see how you feel

However I have a longer term concern, which is that I don't want to be learning a new framework for every project or have legacies with the "wrong" framework knocking around. This is why I framed the question in general terms.
I prefer pylons above Django. Simply because it feels less like a framework.

"There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."
It offers a good balance between Django (which i find a little big and unwieldy), and Flask (which I think suffers from the opposite problem).
