I'll indulge this offtopic response. I don't know how long you've been around, but until a little over a year ago, there were dozens and dozens of web frameworks for Python. They're still out there (and more are added all the time Cloubrid, web.py, etc), but TG, Django, and Pylons cover enough ground that they're good enough for most people. The thing about the full stack frameworks is that they make a lot of decisions for you. Many experienced Python developers don't like CherryPy, particularly the dispatch. Others don't like Kid. If you're not making use of widgets, error handling, identity, or the toolbox, then there's no reason you can't roll your own framework with Paste. This is basically what Pylons and CleverHarold are. The goal for 1.1 (as I understand it) is to make TG a wsgi-based framework and to break up the TG pieces into self-contained units so that they can be reused in other wsgi-based frameworks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
