Python Application Servers

Hi!

I am a newbie and I have just started working on Python. I am planning
to develop a web-based 1v1 game in flash and would like to use python
as a back end for the game. I am an experienced programmer/web
programmer, so I have no probs learning a new language from scratch
and ppl tell me that Python is very easy to learn.

I need you guys to suggest me a good application server to use along
with Python to develop this game. My basic requirements are as
follows:
1) Database abstraction -- Should act as a middle-layer so that Flash
RPC calls wont directly have DB Access
2) Platfrom independence (back-end should work on both Windows and Linux).

I have read about Zope and it looks very huge and complex. And I also
read about SkunkWeb but some ppl claim that it wont work in windows.
Webware is still in its 0.9 stages and I didnt find any good
documentation on it. So I am kinda confused, so it would be great if
any of you guys can help me out to decide which is the best.

Regards,
Yaswanth
