Thank you Graham I really appreciate your comments
Actually they are scaring largely much behind authkit After a look at <http://jimmyg.org/work/code/index.html> , where Pylons appears in the list of phased out projects (by the co-founder, although it seems there is still a community maintaining the project) and where I can read the following : « Phasing out of my own projects: Pylons - I'm using Flows (which I absolutely love) instead. It corrects all the problems with WSGI and Pylons which I discovered when writing the Pylons Book and is a complete re-write of the whole codebase and core dependencies from scratch, with complete conceptual integrity and with a far more modular architecture than even Pylons », my questions are : 1. Is still wise starting new long term projects based on Pylons ? 2. How strong and motivated remains the Pylons development community ? 3. Which are, if any, the long term python web frameworks to eventually consider as alternative to pylons ? (should I re-evaluate django , which I don't like technically so much but it seems can count on larger stable development community) Your and other pylons users advices are very much welcome on those questions Thank you again Daniel On Jun 4, 12:03 pm, Graham Higgins <[email protected]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 3 Jun 2010, at 17:47, daniel wrote: > > > Thank you Graham for these precious inputs. > > Good, I'm glad it was of some use. > > On a slightly more general note: > > I would recommend that all developers who are currently using AuthKit > (or who plan to do so) should read and inwardly digest the statements > on this page: > > <http://jimmyg.org/work/code/index.html> > > in which James lists those of his Python modules that are currently > maintained and those which he is personally moving away from: > > 1.
