Django

Post #217,929 by ubernostrum 8/7/05 1:42:37 AM Reply	Django Announced a few weeks ago, [link\|http://djangoproject.com/\|Django]'s a web framework in Python, sort of in the same vein as Rails (was developed around the same time and with many of the same goals, though neither one seems to have known about the other). \r\n\r\n I'd been meaning to sit down and tinker with it since I'm much more amenable to Python than to Ruby, and after a couple hours tonight I'm very impressed. It's a seriously no-nonsense framework with a lot of well-chosen defaults, a lovely database API and an amazingly well-designed web-based admin interface automatically generated from your data models. I can honestly see myself building things with this and only changing the site name in the admin templates before handing it over to a client. \r\n\r\n A well-written [link\|http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial1/\|tutorial] is available, along with plenty of other documentation (and for those on shared hosting who don't have mod_python (the recommended way to run Django), be sure to check out [link\|http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Django\|Django with FasctCGI]. --\r\nYou cooin' with my bird? \r\n[link\|http://www.shtuff.us/\|shtuff]

I am/have been looking for a framework to rebuild my shell script driven publishing system. I like python, I want something with a set of "rules/templates/methods/functions" already there, so I don't have to invent/write them. I now, (along with many other things) have a good way to "force myself" or not have an excuse to go forward with python.. FINALLY. I thank you much, Jim. Very much. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [image\|http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg\|\|\|\|]

The Sig: "Despite the seemingly endless necessity for doing so, it's actually not possible to reverse-engineer intended invariants from staring at thousands of lines of code (not in C, and not in Python code either)."
