Python Web Frameworks - Django and Pylons

by Braddock Gaskill <braddock at braddock.com>

The two dominant python-based web frameworks are Django and Pylons.  They
can
be used to deploy web applications such as news sites, online ticket
tracking
systems, or wikis.  An overview and comparison of Django and the recently
reinvented Pylons Project will be presented.  Individual dependencies of
the
Pylons Project will be described including the Pyramid WSGI engine, the
SQLAlchemy database Object Relational Mapper (ORM), and the Mako HTML
template generator.  A very simple blog engine will be implemented as an
instructive example.
