Hello! I've been developing in PHP ever since PHP 3. I've recently "discovered" Python and Pylons (read: started playing with it more seriously). I like the framework very much, and would like to switch completely to Python and Pylons. My primary job is developing web applications.
However, having already some tools written in PHP, namely an inhouse CMS used for our clients (we do managed hosting of webapps as well), I'd like to port those to Python, namely Pylons, and opensource them (yeah, I have the authority, I'm the CEO and lead dev). Unless of course such components already exist? I'm talking about developing (porting) a set of (purely) RESTful components for resource (content) management. For example, SmartPages (nested hierarchy of pages not unlike Drupal's "book"), articles with categories, product catalog, gallery, newsletter, etc... The idea is to have the components fully prepared as Python modules (models, controllers and mako templates), and enable adding them to the project using paster, for example: #paster component SmartPages which would unpack the component, place models, templates and controllers in respective directories, add commented entries to the url mapper, etc... depending on what the component needs. The developers could then use them as is, or modify to suit their needs (most likely), especially URIs and routes. The idea was to call the project Presto: Pylons RESTful Objects. :) I may be reinventing the wheel here, you guys will know if such things already exist. I am also very new to Python so it might take a little while before I get a grip and do a (rather big) paradigm shift from PHP to Python.
