Could you please spent 10 minutes to read through the tutorial? The 'tee' unix utility and ctypes describes the way giotto goes about it business very well. Traditional web frameworks (such as django and rails) are too much of a 'magic the gathering' for my taste, which is why I'm writing giotto. I'm really not looking for general "why I hate frameworks" criticism. I'm looking for specific criticism of the framework that I am writing. > This is, in my opinion, not a good thing.

Not all api's get it right on the first shot. I'm more interested in getting it right, rather than patching together a bunch of random 'fixes' ala PHP. > The only way to support *absolutely everything* is to do nothing - to > be a framework so thin you're invisible.

I want to force developers to not do that. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
