Lukasz, thanks for your deep reply! Should the efforts that I have just started stall, I will definitely be able to put a lot of that info to great use!
As I wrote on the Django Group (I think), I have decided to give Django a shot until I have the definite "go" from my client. I have spent 2 or 3 hours today and some more yesterday on model design which was not Framework-specific. After that, I have the Model and Admin front-end in demo'able shape (and about 85% usable, as-good-as-time- permits final shape, probably) . That, of course, makes me quite the happy Django camper so far. I especially want to thank you for your time estimate which is pretty close to what "everyone else" said. I think my client will have to live with a little more effort (read: budget) that he initially thought, but he will also get more than what he thought he might get. Luckily, he is not very picky about design. The seminar is a company- internal series of events that are not quite high on a marketing- scale, so it seems to me. His own web site also is more of the "quick and dirty" type, which he knows and tolerates well. So, I hope I will be able to cut down a bit on the html side. > > and with neither I have been able to quickly have a authorized-access > > based web site up. > > Why not? > tg-admin quickstart --sqlalchemy > and pick yes when it asks you if you want to use identity. Hm, I remember having tried that and having run into some kind of roadblock. I am sorry for not being able to provide details anymore (it was about 10 days ago with a lot of 14-hour work days in between), but I remember being stuck between a bunch of decorators that felt out of control. Maybe that's why my first shot with a test implementation went with Django. I had something up there much faster than I thought and didn't feel as lost. It seems my simple mind could adapt to Django's way more easily somehow . > In 6 weeks you should be right on track Let's hope I can beat that estimate or I know of a client who's having some problems ;-). I don't know if he is able to extend that timeline in any way, but it sounded like probably not. I think he will be able to live with a "no whistles" early version, though, and adding some "presentable" html pages later. > strict 4h a day should be about right. After having had 1.5 of those days, it seems like your guess will hit spot on ;). > ps. html layout of the page will be most time consuming ! Oh, yeah. I keep having that "p.s. note" in the back of my head all the time. I hope it won't bite me after having postponed it for too long. Thanks for reminding me. > So the question is? Why not to use tg for this project? For me, the answer was "Django admin frontend". That has probably saved me an estimated 20-25% of the estimated implementation time. I think I could already show the client something that makes him optimistic about the deadline after the 4-5 hours I spent on the Django specifics. I am quite impressed by that. But, as I wrote on the Django list, I definitely have my radar pointed to TG and am eagerly awaiting the 2.0 release. I tend to like the TG way of approaching things, but for this time I had to give in to the time pressure.
