I've never worked with python, and most of my recent web-dev has
involved Rails. I'm currently looking for alternative web frameworks
and Pylons seems like a pretty good choice (been looking at django and
TG also). The main reason for moving away from Rails is Ruby's speed
and Rails' lack of scalability (other than just throwing hardware at
it).

One of Rails hook points, IMO, was its vast Ajax helper library with
Prototype and scriptaculous support. Does Pylons support those
libraries? If not, are there plans to support them?

The contents of the WebHelpers module is exposed to your Pylons app  
via the 'h' (helper) module. 'h' is available within your templates  
-- you might render a scriptaculous effect with something like:

<div id='item5' style="display:none">hello</div>
${h.javascript_tag(h.visual_effect('Grow', 'item5'))}
