The TurboGears folks were going to build a TG-like framework on top of Pyramid... but I have not heard anything about it for several months so it may be inactive. Ptah aims to offer the same kind of bells and whistles Django does. It's at an initial alpha release. It's the closest Pyramid has to a full-stack framework right now. Kotti is specifically a content-management system. I haven't looked at Khufu recently so I'm not sure how much it contains. > Perhaps lightweight frameworks > such as Pyramid are for more advanced usage, although I doubt for > which purpose, given that problems a web programmer faces in his > projects are amazingly the same.

It's a mid-level framework like Pylons. Pyramid is a mid-level framework like Pylons. For a lightweight framework, see web.py, Aspen, Quixote, Flask, Werkzeug, or several others. Pyramid's focus is on being scalable, both down and up. You can make a Pyramid application and launcher in a single script file. Or you can build an elaborate full-stack framework on top of Pyramid, or use an off-the-shelf one. With Pyramid there are multiple ways to do it, but they are all interoperable. Our goal is not to force everyone to a mid-level framework, but to provide such good building blocks that future high-level frameworks choose Pyramid as a foundation. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
