Hi,
I am new to this newsgroup (and new to Python and PostgreSQL). My
experience (17+ years) has been with Smalltalk (e.g. VAST) and Object
databases (e.g. Versant, OmniBase).
I now have a new project to develop web applications using the latest/
best possible versions of Python (3.x?) with PostgreSQL (8.x?, with
pgAdmin 1.10?).
I hope to get some hints as of what frameworks/modules to use for this
specific combination (Python + PostgreSQL)?, should I use django,
zope, web2py, psycopg module, others?, what are their pros/cons?.
Hi Carlos,
You'll find a lot of libraries and projects aren't supporting Python
3.x yet. Consider (as others have suggested) working in Python 2.6 to
ease the transition to 3.x when you & your libs are ready.
I've used Psycopg2 to talk to Postgres from Python and had great
success with it.
As far as Django versus Zope versus web2py versus Pylons versus
TurboGears versus... Well, there's enough flamewar material in there
to power New York for centuries. They've all got their strengths and
weaknesses. I know which I prefer but my needs and preferences are my
own and only you know yours.
One thing I will note is that Zope's database is an object hierarchy
which sounds like a familiar tool for you, so that might ease your
transition into the Python world.
Good luck
Philip
