https://dev.launchpad.net/ArchitectureGuide/ServicesRequirements is
worth cross referencing when thinking about such things. A simple http
handler may require more effort to reach the logging requirement, for
instance.

I have (as yet) no attachment to web.py; I wrote this to see how it
would feel for something nice and small - which many of our things
will be. The medium single-db db-connection logic things aren't likely
to work for us (just a feel) so I'm not worried about what a framework
does/does not offer in that regard.
