Thanks for this link ... I worked through the Django Project tutorial,
but in all honesty did not find it very helpful. It's all very bitty,
and unpicking the automagic stuff in such a way that I can adapt it to
my needs seems rather daunting. However, the book you refer to above
seems to have some examples that are more at my level.

FWIW, I used PHP/MySQL to create a bespoke application for a client.
I've now been asked to do another site, and I'd love to use Python as
the syntax is much nicer than PHP. Django seems to be the obvious
place to start, but as mentioned above I'm struggling a little. With
PHP I was able to write a custom session handler two weeks after
getting started. With Django, I'm still trying to work out with which
directory I should put my files in. Eg, the tutorial mentions 'polls/
detail.html'. Does it mean 'mysite/pools/details.html', or 'templates/
polls/details.html'. I assumed the later, eventually tried both, but
still could not make it work. As I don't really understand what it
going on, I can't begin to fix it.

Anyway - I will persevere, and your link above looks very useful.

Thanks,

Nick
