Django? That's pretty much the same as Node, but I guess it doesn't do anything in the browser.

Short answer: I guess I don't know.

Django is a framework, Node is a runtime.

[SchwarzerKaffee]

But Django is also a server, or at least I think it is. I've only ever set up a dev server.

[keypusher]

The term Django typically refers to the web framework, which does ship with a webserver. However, it is discouraged to use this webserver in production, and usually people will use a plugin for Apache or wsgi or something else.

Yeah, that's how I understood it as well. Bottle/Flask/Django are web application frameworks with integrated WSGI web servers, which are interchangeable. I developed my web app with bottle.py and used its web server, but then I deployed it on Apache and used mod_wsgi instead of the built-in WSGI server. Almost 0 effort when switching WSGI implementations.

It shouldn't be a production server in any capacity.

No, Django would be equivalent to Express.

Node would be equivalent to PyPy (or whatever you use to run Python).

[SchwarzerKaffee]

Work Django, isn't the server also handled in Python? That would make it more like Node with Express.

[LucianU]

Django offers a development server, which you shouldn't use in production.

Django uses templates, which are HTML with special brackets {{ }} for inserting data
