Thanks for the reply, Mike. After I typed my thoughts/questions out it gave me clearer idea of what I had no clue about and, therefore, where I needed to go to learn more. It also made looking through docs I'd already read clearer. And your post was very helpful in sort of tying everything together. I was able to get a small site going to start to figure things out and that really helped to put things together in my head. I do feel like all the info you need to use pylons is available but maybe it's just more of a challenge for people like me (new to python) to put it all together. Thanks again for taking the time to add some clarity!
