Hi, I am in the midst of developing a "fairly simple" application site, but where traffic in the real world might be in the "moderate" range (not low, but not a mega site).
I have been using python for years, and developed several successful low-traffic sites with it, using various python web tools from my own, to myghty, mod_python, pylons...I certainly enjoy the programming aspect of python, but when you want to get a site up and reliably running and scaled (and find people to maintain it), perhaps other factors besides the "language" are more important. Question: is pylons ready for prime time? If one were to develop a moderate-volume, solid site, is python with pylons the "best" thing to use? How would a pylons site stack up against sites made with php, rails, java? (btw, I anticipate deploying using Apache and the paste server via reverse-proxy). Here are things to consider: 1. ease/speed of programming 2. ease of testing 3. scalability 4. reliability 5. maintainability 6. flexibility 7. availability of good libraries I realize these questions have been asked before, but having my initial "alpha" nearly finished in pylons, doubts are setting in as to how deployable and scalable in the *real world* this system might be. I know that *a lot* of sites (especially large ones) use php (which, as a language, I am less then crazy about). And various java frameworks (but java is so much work!). And rails? Well, there seems to be a bit of a controversy as to its performance, flexibility and scalability. Interested in any thoughts folks might have.
