I need to write a python webservice, but I would rather use a LIGHT WEIGHT framework (no one mention Django please), so that I can cater for more complicated scenarios in the future.

Is there a (peer) recommended library that I can use or at least can provide a good starting point?

[Edit]

To clarify, I am talking about a RESTful web service here - nothing to do with SOAP and/or WSDL

Try Pyramid, which is the result of a merger between the Pylons and repoze.bfg frameworks. It's relatively lightweight, yet robust and well-documented.

For RESTful services in Pyramid, you might find this blog post interesting.

I suggest you look at Cherry Py. http://cherrypy.org/

I was in a similar situation looking for lightweight, and tired of Django. I came across web.py, which seems to be as lightweight as it can get.

web2py may be of interest. It includes support for web services and has recently added RESTful API functionality, described here (video) and here. If you have any questions, ask on the mailing list.
