Hello pylons-users,

I'm fly-reading the list and I'm glad to see that Pylons seems to be 
pretty active. I also think Pylons is great and I've already made a nice 
little project for myself, thanks to the pylonshq.com source code.

In my concern, I prefer writing Pylons application the python way 
(controllers) rather than the myghty way. I don't like the idea of 
learning new syntax for a specific templating system (less re-usable). 
When your a newby at it, it's not always easy to understand where 
pylons/myghty starts/stops. It kinda took me some time to understand 
'autohandler'. And I'm still unsure in which case I should use m.scomp() 
or m.comp() (or similar that seems to do the same stuff in all cases). 
Once you get the feel of it, I guess it's okay.

For example, to understand how I could do menu toggling 
(<%args>toggle</%args>, <%method>) or changing the page's title (<& 
PARENT:title &> - Home), I looked at the source PYLHQ source code. But 
it's all myghty stuff. So I kinda copied/pasted the PYLHQ code to my 
application hoping it would work (which didn't always, my code has a 
slightly different design). And I was wondering why the author used 
myghty's <%args> when you can use the 'c' variable to pass info to the 
tempate ? Then why don't do everything under myghty then ? Can't we 
reproduce myghty's clever inheritance schema throught normal python code 
? Because I'm pretty sure that in a few month, when I'll get back to my 
project, I'll have a hard time remembering how myghty works.

As I said in a previous posts, Pylons is still at an early stage and 
needs more documentation. I'm glad to see that howto's are beeing posted 
regulary in PYHQ/Code. Nice work !

Do you guys think we could have more as friendly examples about how to 
do smart web trick on more focused python code rather than myghty ? 
Maybe I'm too newby right now to have a general view and coding 
web-based application is a certainly a different approch.
