I think I see what you're saying with regards to the *way* Drupal is built. That is, it might be hard to build a Pylons app that way. But that's sort of the point, as AD seems to be getting at. There's no reason or need to build apps that way. As far as *functionality*, though, I can't see any reason why Drupyl couldn't be built with Pylons (Django, TG2, ...), and I don't see anything about Pylons' structure that would hamper building *any* sort of web app, at least no more so than any other framework[1]. The structure Pylons imposes in terms of both packaging (standard Python packaging w/ a few conventions) and WSGI is fairly minimal and very extensible. Anyway, we seem to be saying roughly the same thing at this point, except the part about Pylons' structure. [1] Unless someone knows of a new, magical framework that I haven't heard of yet. ;) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
