I don't think this is true. Django's various layers of functionality are de-coupled relatively well. I would still use Django even if my data access back-end is pure XML-RPC. I just probably wouldn't use Django's ORM. Of course, using the ORM does allow you to abstract your web code even further, but you can probably write wrapper classes around your XML-RPC calls to get som eof that. (For instance, you might implement a class that, to a limited extent, emulates the QuerySet class; I think you need this to use generic views, but correct me if I'm wrong). -Forest
