I wonder if there is an open source CMS coded in Python that is as big as Drupal (or Joomla or Wordpress).
You are looking for Django. (Edited to say: OK, it's a web application framework, but there's lots of overlap. Django-CMS is maybe more what you want, but is in no way as big as Drupal or Joomla.)
Plone is an open source python powered CMS.
check out Web2py it comes tons usefully stuff
I'm looking for similar alternatives and have found http://www.lfcproject.com/blog/release-10-final. At least they just had a release. Looks promising.
Btw, development of Django-CMS looks either dead or stale :\
Tendenci was recently released into the open source community and is written in Python on a Django framework.
Tendenci CMS comes with a ton of features that require plugins/modules typically with other CMS' like membership management, selective permissions, event registration and event calendar, jobs board, video and photo galleries, etc.
You can download Tendenci on Github at https://github.com/tendenci/tendenci.

I was trying to make a small and simple web application(my first one) using Google AppEngine until I hit a roadblock(Google search returns None 302 on AppEngine) ..would appreciate if you look into this issue.
My app idea is that the user inputs a query which after some processing, a few links are recommended. There is no database or user management required in my app and hence I think Django would be an overkill. I stumbled across various other frameworks like flask, bottle, web.py etc. but could not decide which one would be the best for this simple application and for a beginner in web-dev. Suggestions?
Merry Xmas...
I guess the most minimalistic framework is Flask.
I have done small experiments with a few of the frameworks (Flask, Pyramid, Django, web2py...).
My personal winner is web2py (it just felt easy and elegant). I find it great in combination with pythonanywhere.com and github.com
I think it's also fair to say that you won't get away with just using Python. You will need some JavaScript and should know about css, etc.

CherryPy is another light-weight minimalist python web framework that you should take into consideration. In any case, any of the aforementioned minimalist frameworks would work just perfectly well for your purposes.
I'm always a supporter of Django, it just works. I've played with Flask, CherryPy and Web2py. Django is better than all of them, even if I just want to build something small and lightweight I'd choose Django.

This isn't a technical question, however after hours of scouring google I have not found an viable examples or resources to learn the Wokkel framework. I've extrapolated what I can from the source code itself, and the unit tests but still do not have a great understanding of how to implement subprotocols.
I'm working with a jabber server using almost all custom stanzas. If anyone has any resources or examples they could lend, that would be awesome.
Thanks
I'm not sure what kind of "resources" you're looking for, but there are lots of examples out there:
http://wokkel.ik.nu/wiki/XMPPClients
An XMPP Echo Bot with Twisted and Wokkel and Echo Bot Part 2: Making a Component
Twisted Wokkel Bot
Twisted / Wokkel XMPP Client Example
XMPP-Ping Examples
There are also numerous resources linked in How do you create a simple Google Talk Client using the Twisted Words Python library?
If you need more help or want feedback from specialists, the relevant mailing list is Twisted-Jabber.
In addition, Wokkel is closely related to Twisted Words, so check out materials related to that project, especially http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/words/.
I've started adding Sphinx-based prose documentation, along with the existing example scripts and put this up on http://wokkel.ik.nu/documentation. It also includes an API Reference generated using pydoctor.

Other than the Django docs tutorial, what are recommendations for good Django 1.3 tutorials?
The resources listed in the Django wiki all seem pretty outdated.
Related to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/130061/book-and-tutorial-recommedations-for-django-1-0 but I'm looking specifically for updated Django 1.3 guides.
Thanks.
Having searched on a regular basis, I can say that there simply aren't any very new books on Django being sold at the major retailers. And there have been some significant changes to the code since 1.1.
Your best bet is just to continue using the django docs. The docs for Django are some of the best and most complete on the web. They do an excellent job of keeping them up to date.
There are tutorials out there on the web for using django in specific ways that aren't covered well on the djangoproject.com site. But they tend to cover only one small area such as how to use django with aptana. Very useful, but far from complete without many other resources.
And of course, if you get stuck, there is IRC and StackOverflow!
You've probably been to some page on the official snippets site, and I agree, it is disappointing to click on a "top user" only to see that they haven't posted anything in years. However, the following is a link to just the entries tagged for 1.3, and depending on how old you thought the snippets in general were, you may find some interesting and relevant information by looking at the circa 1.2 entries as well:
http://djangosnippets.org/search/advanced/?q=+&language=&django_version=1.3
If < 3 months old is more your preference,

I am looking for a Python web framework which will allow me to rapidly build a CRUD application with automatic AJAX support.
The framework should be able to generate a nice table which is sortable and filterable, which works via AJAX and without JS support at all as well.
I have looked at TurboGears2 and it seems promising, is there any other framework that can do the job for me?
Most of the modern frameworks, like TG, Django or Flask support CRUD-style applications. But none of those are that much abstract, that you can give them a model, and there you have your ajaxy db manipulation templates and validations.
Django has django-admin and a great form builder and helper module; Flask can work with WTForms easily. Javascript is just as usable with any of the above frameworks, so that with a little recherche in the jQuery plugin area, you might be able to quickly build your application.
You might check out web2py. Very easy CRUD, and great Ajax support (see also, web2py components). web2py's plugin_wiki also includes widgets for CRUD and jqGrid.
There's also a new grid plugin under development called powerTable, which is a web2py wrapper for the jQuery DataTables plugin.
If you have questions, the web2py community will be happy to help you out.

I'm currently supporting a Python web app with increasingly complicated user/role/permission management requirements. Currently, we are rolling our own user, groups, permissions, etc. code and supporting database.
I'd like to find something like ASP.NET membership that can help manage user authentication and authorization, rather than risk security issues in continuing to create an increasingly complicated custom solution. Are there any similar projects out there worth taking a look at?
If you are looking for off site user authentication you might want to consider openid. People have added openid support to cherrypy.
If you are looking for more user management type code. I guess it depends on exactally what you are doing but others have done user management before, why not leverage off them. Skeletonz is a CMS written on top of cherrypy. If you are not wed to cherrypy you might also want to consider Pinax. It's built on Django with the idea of reusing work others have done so you don't have to do it again.
