Hello friends,

I am wandering around looking for a good framework to build my web
site upon.

Django looks fine to me due to it's object oriented database access
and automatic administrative interface.

What makes me sad is that Django does not have an easy way to update
database structures. I am always having new ideas, in fact I don't
have a precise idea of the boundaries of my web site, so it's very
important to me to have an easy way to change my database structure
anytime I want.

For writing desktop multiplatform applications I choose a few years
ago to use Python + wxPython + Metakit, and I am still happy with this
combo.

Metakit ( http://www.equi4.com/metakit/ and 
http://www.equi4.com/metakit/python.html
) is a very simple to use database. I only have to put a "Mk4py.so"
file (".so" on Mac, ".dll" on Windows) on the same folder of my source
code file to use it.

To update a database structure on Metakit, I just change the record
structure definition on my source code and run again the program. If I
added a new field, it will be there now. If I deleted a field, it is
gone now. All without touching the data stored on remaining fields.
Super simple!

What attracts me to web.py is, of course, the pythonic way of being!

My question is simple... Has anyone used Metakit with web.py? Is it
possible?

Anyway, how the question of updating database structure is dealt in
web.py?

Is there any resource (productive or in development) in web.py to help
build administrative interfaces?
