My comp.lang.python newsgroup posting from last week was in response to someone who wanted to create their own, brand-new Python web framework, and was asking for advice. My response was basically that, although I understand the attraction of doing it yourself, the current plethora of frameworks is actually hurting Python as a language. It would serve us better to pick one or two of the good existing solutions, and concentrate on making them "excellent". Here's a tinyurl link to the Usenet posting on Google: http://tinyurl.com/lrlnv I did, however, write a Wiki page several years ago giving my real-world experiences with several of the then-popular solutions. It's at http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebSolutionComparison. I did a tour of the numerous python web framworks available not so long ago. I choosed webware, because it is simple and powerful. Which one did you choose? My current favorite is CherryPy with Cheetah. I like the compactness, simplicity, and deployment ease of CherryPy, and I really like the expressiveness of Cheetah (which, by the way, also integrates quite well with Webware). However, ALL of this is so very personal that just giving a recommendation is not particularly helpful. I, personally, like the ability of doing a little bit of computation in my templates, which draws me to Cheetah. Others find that thought horrifying, and want a nearly pure separation of presentation from computation. By the way, I don't want to seem to be detracting from Webware. I know this is a Webware mailing list, and Webware has been very, very good to me. I've just drifted away, so to speak. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. |
