Yet another Python web development framework comparison

If you're still sitting on the fence about the right web framework here's another comparison post describing Django, Pylons and TurboGears.

Python web development and frameworks in 2007

I don't understand why the poster thinks that the TurboGears community is in 'decline'. All I see is that there are more subscribers on the mailing list than ever (3 times as many as for Pylons).

Django, TurboGears, Pylons comparison

It doesn't even try to be "scientific" but I still found this comparison of the currently popular Python web frameworks very informative:

Unscientific and biased comparison of Django, Pylons, and TurboGears

Rails / Django comparison

Found this on the Django mailing list. A nice Rails vs Django comparison.

I think there is one thing that both Rails and Django have over TurboGears: their main maintainers all use them to create web applications full-time, on a daily basis. I'm not sure whether this is true at all for TurboGears. But I'm still optimistic. The book is coming out real soon now and there is an ongoing effort to clean up the docs. The TurboGears users mailing list has 2300 subscribers vs. Django's 3300. A couple of month ago they were about the same. Hmm...

Django Book preview: a nicely done comment interface

I'm a card-carrying TurboGears fan but I also keep an eye on the Django framework. You can think of both as Python's response to Ruby on Rails.

The Django team released a public preview of the upcoming Django book recently and I got to say, that the comment interface is so nicely done (in Django of course), that I have an urge to stay there and keep commenting. :)

Extra points for releasing the book under a free license (GFDL). Many open source projects died or withered away slowly due to the lack of good documentation. It's good to see the bar being raised in this regard.

Update: It seems that they use Jack Slotum's way cool YAHOO.ext package. Ajaxian entry.
