Mapnik is an open source map rendering lib that makes pretty maps and has an extensive Python API. Unfortunately, it's still a pain in the ass to install with macports. Luckily, there are some really helpful people in the community....

Using Pylons 0.9.6, it would be desireable to turn off template caching completely at the Beaker level so that template changes would be reflected immediately during development.
