Based on my experience, it doesn't matter what framework you use.  All 
that's going to matter is how fast you can pump data in and out of your 
database.  The overhead added by the Python front-end probably won't be 
significant.

Pick a framework that you find easy to use and don't sweat it.  Invest 
your time worrying about your database.

You don't want to do that with Python.  You want to do that with 
something that's optimized for serving static content (such as nginx).
