Web development with python.

Is Plone analoguous to ASP.NET? Is it a python web developing platform?
I am confused on what Turbogears is aswell because of the lack of
documentation for it.

No, if anything ZOPE is analogous to ASP.NET. Plone is an CMS (Conetent
Management System) application written on top of ZOPE.

Plone is analoguous to something line Kentico CMS[1]. Plone runs on Zope
which is an application server, being to Python sort of what IIS is to
ASP.NET, I think. Don't take my word for it.

You might want to read the introductory documentation[1][2] for Zope and
Plone.

2. http://plone.org/about/plone/
3. http://www.zope.org/WhatIsZope

No, it's a CMS. FWIW, it's written in bold on the project's home page:
"""
Plone: A user-friendly and powerful open source Content Management System
"""
(http://www.plone.org)

FWIW, it's based on Zope, which is a Python-based web application server

A Python web MVC framework.

I think there's at least enough informations on the turbogears website
to understand that it's a framework for doing web applications :

"""
TurboGears is the rapid web development megaframework
"""
(http://www.turbogears.org/index.html)

"""
Create great web apps faster
"""
(http://www.turbogears.org/about/index.html)
