I haven't tried webpy but I have used django.  django has a tutorial that
takes a couple of hours to set up and go through completely.  Its not just
reading, its hands on trying out a small website.  It gives a very good
understanding of what the framework offers, and how difficult (or easy!) it
is to use.  If webpy has a similar tutorial, I would start there, or try
django.  After the tutorial, the discussion becomes a lot more concrete and
less theoretical as to whether that platform would be helpful
