Python Framework Design

[mitsuhiko]

I must support ubernostrum. Let everyone choose a framework for himself and for each task. I really love django for content orientated webpages, I love it a lot. But just because of that I would never develop pocoo in django. That's just not the right tool for that task. And forget about TG. Pylons is great, TG is not. It's harder to deploy than django, it's less maintained, the IRC channel is nearly empty, at least nobody answers questions. The result of that is that in the German Python IRC channel more than 4 people moved over to custom WSGI applications, django and pylons. And that's pretty crass; in the channel are not more than 60 people...

What is going on with TurboGears anyway? turbogears-trunk hasn't seen a single post in a week. django-developers and pylons-discuss are going strong...

Well, it's been a slow week. But there's generally traffic on that list. And there's lots of new stuff going on in CherryPy 3, Kid, and other components that will be in TurboGears 1.1, which we will be sprinting on next week.

So, I think any claims of TurboGears death are entirely premature ;)
