You are comparing a development framework (Django) to a programming language (PHP). A better comparison would be Django to a PHP based framework like Zend Framework, Symfony, CakePHP OR the languages Python to PHP and the answer then would depend on a variety of things, starting with your existing experience of either language, what you are trying to do, etc. > 2.

It is a general web application framework, but wether it is suitable "web apps that are more interactive", depends on what you mean by "interactive". You should get a good idea of how much you can do with Django here: http://www.djangosites.org/ Cheers, Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
