Alas, that's one of the reasons that drove me from Java a while back. > If I use Django, if I change the controller or model logic, do I > have to compile everything? Effectively, there's no "recompilation" in Python/Django as it's all handled by Python and fairly transparent to the user. At worst, you have to restart the Django process to get Python to do the recompilation for you. > If I change a a model, don't I have to use "special" django/py > commands to fix everything in my ORM? > If I just make nominal changes to the logic in a controller, I can > just go with it, no recompile necessary? If you change the actual database structure (add/remove/rename fields, change their types, add constraints/indexes, etc) when changing models, then you'd need to handle those separately. Best practices usually suggest using South as the least-painful way to do these database migrations. Though often in pre-release code, I'll just nuke the database and rebuild it from the ground up. If it's just the logic changing and not the actual database structure, then Python/Django tends to handle everything for you as mentioned above (at worst, just restart the process to have Python recompile your changes). > Sorry for so many questions.
