I'm not sure, whether you should rule out the "big" players. I'm aware of a small software company (around five or six people) using a hosted version of OpenERP happily. Just because the software targets much larger enterprises, it doesn't mean it's not efficient for smaller ones. Oh, and it's written in Python :~)

We're running OpenERP for a small business.
And we're moderately content with it. It has quirks, and it's often complicated.
What I really don't like are the upgrades. As it happens, OpenERP is a collection of plugins. Every plugin defines the database-fields in it's forms, which are inserted/generated upon installation of the plugin. Which means dozens of plugins modify the same tables.
This makes migrating, even to a never version of openerp, really unpleasant.

We use OpenERP and are happy with it. LWN could use it and just not install the warehouse, manufacturing and other modules it doesn't need. Just use the accounting module and keep it minimal.
OpenERP is python/postgres too....
