Interesting link. Django does seem to be a well designed modular approach -- and I think if it had existed back in '97 the history of web development would have been much different. I can't help feeling that it would be nice to have a collection of tools that was even more orthogonal and flexible, and WSGI seems to possibly offer a nice base platform for constructing tools like these. Also I think it remains devilishly difficult to implement ajaxy functionalities like smart data pickers, in-form validation, partial form saving, "chatty interfaces" etc. What are some good paradigms or methodologies or ideas out there that the Python community should steal? :) warning: It's very possible that my understanding of Django is not deep enough and that the answer is "Django". -- Aaron Watters === http://www.xfeedme.com/nucular/pydistro.py/go?FREETEXT=you+may+cheat -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
