Hi, I had same problem some time ago. My decision was to choose PyAMF. So here's what I found out after couple months of work. - code maturity both projects are immature and still under heavy development, pyAmf is considered as Beta - how much activity there is on the project, by how many developers PyAMF has really strong community of European developers, (I reported bug and it was fixed next day) - absolute drop-dead bugs that prohibit using either under specific circumstances in PyAMF as for now I've seen only two really big issues and both are fixed - documentation both have barelly none, but as they are python OS projects you shouldn't be suprised. Just like with django most info you can get by reading code. And code is very clean and nice to read. - ease of use and clean design PyAMF is very easy and clean, you just define DjangoGateway object that is much alike mapping string function names to coresponding view names/functions - performance haven't tested it yet, but as django apps are easilly scalable it shouldn't be any problem at all. -- Greets Christopher Ciesielski -------------------------------------- mob. +48 791457074 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype: mi_yagi jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.pydev.pl/ ASI: http://www.asi.pwr.wroc.pl/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
