This is a very broad question, with some very ill-defined adjectives :-) Generally, given enough resources then Django can scale up to websites of 'enterprise' (what does that actually mean?) level. As is stated in the FAQ [1], Django sites have happily held up to million hits/hour slashdottings. I believe the site in question was chicagocrime.org.
As for the operating system and webserver, I'd say that the majority of sites which are written in Django run on a Linux (this is anecdotal evidence, however, I have no hard numbers to back this up with). A lot of people use Apache with mod_python, and a lot of people use Apache with flup and mod_fastcgi. Another option is lighttpd[2]. Once you can give us a clearer idea on what your application will do, and your performance expectations, I'm sure that there are people who can advise you on deployment. As for DB2, it is not a supported database backend, so you'd be on your own, but if you're not worried about 'coding complexity', then the addition of a DB2 backend would be something that I'm sure the developers would gladly accept into Django trunk :-) Go for it! --Jon [1] http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/faq/#is-django-stable [2] http://www.lighttpd.net/ On 8/27/07, AMBROSE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I need a clear info on why Python is good for enterprise web > developement . > > Can Python be used for a website having several 100 page hits /sec ? > > I am not bothered of coding complexity . > > How about linux OS, <require info on what webserver to use>,Python and > DB2 express edition for webdevelopement? > > Ambrose > PeterMary.com -- coming soon > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
