Oh, I don't know. All three frameworks are based on the original Rails vision, so they are all similar in that regard, and all these adjectives apply to all of them. I guess the first question is, regarding "Pylons is a lightweight web framework emphasizing flexibility and rapid development": - Is it true? - Are there other aspects that need to be emphasized? - What other marketing terms would more clearly distinguish Pylons from Django and Ruby? There are three levels of marketing. One is, for lack of a better term, the Rails-style approach with MVC and routing. Pylons, Django, Rails, and TG all support this. And in Pylons' earlier days it was important to emphasize. Perhaps not so much now since MVC has won out and all the main competitors have it. Another level is building upon third-party code in the framework, which only Pylons and TG do. A third level is adding or replacing your own components (by the application developer), which you can perhaps do in all of them but Pylons emphasizes it more than the others. So that could be a marketing point, except that there are a lot of users who don't need this and don't want the complication of thinking about it, so we have to be careful not to overemphasize it. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
