All the python frameworks seem to do this: one web-server for

this, but I don't see it.
If you are doing internet development, then you certainly have a

another?

A lot of people read slashdot, and slashdot has never done any sort of
story on Django. There have been two stories about TurboGears, but
never anything about Django.
The Django book has not been out that long. Maybe somebody who knows
something about the book should submit the book for review.

I assume Django is good for this type of thing:
A grid that can be sorted by icons on the top of each column. So if I
click on the icon on the 3rd row of the grid, the entire grid will be
sorted by that field.
Also, I would like to be edit the fields like a spreadsheet, if
possible.
