Configuration is tricky at first, but what fun to code a web app in Python instead of looking up php commands all day. Drafts of the django book are available at the site.

Re: Python web frameworks
On Nov 20, 3:39 pm, Graham Dumpleton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This only holds if actually hosted on Apache. As Django these days supports WSGI interface there is nothing to stop it being run with other hosting solutions that support WSGI. So, you could host it under paster or CherryPy WSGI servers. You could even run it under CGI if you were really desperate using a CGI-WSGI adapter. So, it isn't strictly correct to say it is as a multiprocess framework specifically for mod_python, although the developers will admit in the first instance that they didn't design the internals with multithreading in mind. That said, there aren't believed to be any multithreading issues in Django itself at this time. People keep pushing this barrow about the GIL and multithreading being a huge problem, when in the context of Apache it is isn't, at least not to the degree people make out. The reason for this is that when using worker MPM it sill acts as a multi process web server even though each process is also multithreaded. Within those worker MPM child processes there is also a lot going on that doesn't involve Python code nor the GIL, for example initial request process and serving up of static files etc. Result is that the Python GIL is no impediment when using Apache on UNIX to making good use of multiple processors or cores, even when Apache worker MPM is used. I understand about a fifth of this exchange but I'm glad it's here so I can follow links and search on the terminology. I couldn't tell from earlier posts if mod_python was good or bad. The Django book says: Apache with mod_python currently is the most robust setup for using Django on a production server. Is that true? And if you start small with, say, an online arts magazine for a metropolitan area, then can we easily scale if we become popular? I'm picking Django because it sounds like they did just this with a newspaper site in Lawrence, Kansas. We are thinking of starting with Webfaction and just seeing what happens. All I know is that I like Python and Django and would rather stick with open source. Thanks for the info. rd -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

paste text with newlines into raw_input?
Using Python on Debian Etch. What is the best way to paste a block of text in at the command prompt. I'm trying something like: Quote = raw_input(Paste quote here: ) Which works great for one line of text with a single newline. It gets stripped. Okay. Is there a way to paste in a block of text that has multiple lines and newlines? I don't care if they all get stripped in the process, in fact I'd prefer it. I've used strip before, but that doesn't seem to work until you get the text into the program. Thanks for any help. Rick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

However, since they have to do this for lots of packages, one by one the packages get marked stable. So you could have something like wxPython marked stable in March and 6 months later, the rest of the packages are done so they're marked stable. And then after additional testing, they release the new version. Hopefully that wasn't too confusing. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
