A modern Web application framework includes a lot of the scaffolding
necessary whenever you build a Web application. It usually takes care
of all the details of the HTTP request/response handling, and it lets
you plug in your business logic code without worrying about low-level
HTTP-related details. Most frameworks also include things like user
authentication, AJAX, ORM layers, etc.

Examples of Python Web application frameworks: Django, Turbogears,
Pylons, Werkzeug, Restish and many others.
