[melbourne-pug] web framework advice

[Maurice Ling]

Hi Mike,

 From what I know, TurboGears uses CherryPy at the backend. It can be 
seen as a site-builder using CherryPy. However, Being Python-based, 
Karigell and TurboGears have a simplified way to link to SQLlite and Gadfly.

I've not really done any real web development before. Nevertheless, 
looking at some other people's experiences, the database backend is 
irrelevant to the web server or application server.

I am in full support of Firebird, you know that... :P

It may be possible to use mod_python in Apache to do that link. I 
believe using any forms of data management backend has no relevance to 
Apache. Can someone comment on this?

Cheers
Maurice
