You do realise that mod_python is itself a framework in some respects,
it just happens to be bundled with the hosting solution. A big
downside of that is that your code isn't actually portable, so I
wouldn't be so quick to dismiss frameworks. There are also various
frameworks/toolkits which are more nuts and bolts level than the
really high level frameworks. Suggest you might look at:

  http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/
  http://pylonshq.com/

Other than that, if you use Google to search for 'mod_python tutorial'
you will find:
