[Tutor] Document Control System

2008-01-14 Thread ammar azif
Hello,

Is python suitable in developing web based document control system ? I was 
thinking of using python and mysql to create such system. Users can download 
latest document as well as upload drafts. Is this possible or i should use PHP 
instead?

Document control can mean many things but it should be possible using 
Python. You might be interested in these:

Zope and Plone also might be of interest. Or maybe you want a 
revision-control system like Subversion (not in Python) (google them).

There are several ready made ones. Plone for instance: http://plone.org/
It's a very customizable zope project.

Look at Paste as well in building up your stack: http://pythonpaste.org/

I also suggest opting for use of  the WSGI interface for your
application (a python web-app interface which allows easy
collaboration between apps). There is mod_wsgi for apache deployment
and you can use numerous web servers for a development standard. I
really think it is the simplest thing available now, and the way of
the future.

I'm porting my mod_python stuff over

Also look at Silva:

Silva, as well as Plone (http://plone.org), are intended for
*content* management.  They use workflow rules to control the
movement of on-line documents through the system.  Document
management, in contrast with content management might mean
something slightly different to you.
