Rewrites of Postorius or HyperKitty to use a different web framework in the near or medium term are extremely unlikely, at least by the core team. And of course if you want to actually get rid of Django you have to do both. HyperKitty and Postorius between them do use a lot of Django functionality: the ORM, the social authentication module, the templating, sass, and so on. I don't know how much of that is easily implemented with Flask or other "lightweight" frameworks plus easily plugged-in modules, and how much is going to be a lot of do-it-yourself work. I'm not saying "don't do it", but it's not obvious to me that you'll really buy that much simplicity for anybody without (to me, anyway) prohibitive amounts of effort. Note that both Barry and Brian opted for rearchitecture as well as complete rewrites of functionality common to the existing and new versions. There's good reason for that! ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/
