Re: [web2py] Why web2py? and not django?
Realistically Django is probably the safer option if you are on the fence. It's more widely used and has more resources available. Following your logic, they should migrate to PHP :) - it's more widely used and has more resources available. web2py works well out of the box and is used by a lot of people, is backward compatible, and his core functionality (dal, views, ) is very stable and there was many cycles in bug fixing (almost every 1-2 weeks) At this point, I think Web2py needs a champion to work out well. I think you are really, really wrong, this is about to say about django, I couldn't get started with it because there was not an expert around to help me Newbies can very quickly get started with web2py, and it is very intuitively, and you will hardly find a more friendly mailing list than that, Massimo itself will help you if you have troubles I will be happy to read their views, especially in management, deployment and DAL / ORM deployment: cgi, fcgi, wsgi, standalone (has his own webserver) I use dal with rpc services(amf and xml) in a few Flex projects 'models/db.py' db.define_table('t1', Field('f1)) 'controllers/gateway.py' def call(): return service() @service.xmlrpc @service.amfrpc('myservice' def get_list(): return db(db.t1).select().as_list() and you have both xmlrpc and amfrpc services, I think this is even not documented (that you can use both at the same time) and if there are errors in services , there are error tickets that helps me to find and fix bugs

Yeah, but if everyone sits around waiting for the champion to appear there won't be one. Someone has to take the plunge. Cheers, Lars Hansson

web2py = programmers framework django = designers framework Do you have more designers or programmers? -- Thadeus On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 10:59 AM, Lars Hansson romaby...@gmail.com wrote: Yeah, but if everyone sits around waiting for the champion to appear there won't be one.

Re: [web2py] Why web2py? and not django?
As I said we have already developed applications in both framework and both have great benefits, personally despite being a Python for 10 years, I prefer web2py, yet I feel that there are (in market) a particular tendency to deify django and this thread is me providing relevant arguments and information. I love web2py, it management since 2007, but when my developers (who have all been students of mine) evolve, they tend to prefer django arguing that many components already exist and is faster and better. One thing that worries me is the issue of scalability, for example, this project will work with django or web2py, but no large deployments web2py to bringing information on how to behave in environments where there are 50 Requests per second with the problems associated with using a transactional model in a web where there is more effective solutions as working layers NoSQL reading (how are we going with this?). I was just lucky enough to work on trying to fix some problems in my country a website done in django and I was terrified with the design of the BD, where the home only 212 queries were developed for each request, to climb it, this communications leader, was almost 1 year to fix it. Now we are working very special portals for Yell to Tornado (using the framework) and MongoDB and are more than happy, we have 750 Requests per second (in a simple athlon2 with 4 GB of RAM)! Ilove to to have this in django or web2py , but its scope is different in this new project and we appeal to them .

You will probably know what I would say being the web2py list and all, but a bit of information about your project may help sway the choice one way or the other.
