Those tools are clunky and hard to program, driving up the cost of maintenance. Consider this pattern: http://martinfowler.com/bliki/StranglerApplication.html Each time someone requests a new feature, do it in Django instead, and link it to the old system. (And use TDD to write it all.) Eventually a new system will emerge, completely obscuring the old one. And, yes, Django can do webservices and such, just like platforms with much bigger advertising budgets. -- Phlip http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ZeekLand -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
