Pylons is better at: * Being a hacker's framework. * Mixing and matching your components. * Not getting in your way. * Developing custom *applications*. Django is better at: * Being accessible by newbies. * Letting developers quickly throw together something and start inserting content. * Developing custom *web sites*. > How are Pylon projects structured?

That's enough to know what's going on. > What is the favored, most stable Web server/ Pylon configuration?

It's the same as everything else. You can add more Web servers. If you use sessions, you'll need to either a) use session stickiness (ugly) or b) use a session server (less ugly). Pylons doesn't have any inherent scaling problems. I can say this with conviction because I just finished reading "Scalable Internet Architectures" and "Building Scalable Web Sites" :) > Is there a way to "short-circuit" all requests to pylons and carry out > certain actions based on this? For example, I intend to log page > impressions based on different types of requests Yes. You have two ways 1) by using middleware 2) by using a controller superclass.
