[Tutor] Web framework: looking for python-tutor's angle.

[Mac Ryan]

A couple of months ago I took the time to read a few articles on python
web application frameworks and I got the impression that the two most
mature and active projects are Zope and Django.

Zope vs. Django hits 879.000 pages on google but much of the debate - or
at least this is my impression - falls into the class "vi vs. emacs" or
"gtk vs. qt" with many people singling out a single characteristics that
for them is THE characteristic making one framework better than the
other.

This [1] graph seems to corroborate my final impression (i.e. that
django is the way to go). Yet, I would be very interested in hearing
what the members of this list think, as I particularly enjoy the
"learner centered" approach that most of the people seems to have here.

I believe my needs are quite ordinary: my customers are typically small
businesses needing to process their data on a single server, sometime
exposing part of the application as front-end to the customers (hence
easy and flexible theming is important). I would definitively be happy
to sacrifice some functionality in exchange for a leaner and cleaner
design (i.e. more modular, elegant and intuitive), though.

Thank you in advance for your time,
Mac.
