I may not stay with Django.
Nope, but your question was about Django.
I am seriously looking for whether python
can read data from a relational database
Of course - as long as there's a Python adapter for your DB.
and send to an html template
Of course - as long as it's either a Python templating system or there's
a Python binding for this system.
or do I always need some kind of wrapper/interface such as Rails
Uh ? Rails is a Ruby framework.
or
Django?
No, you don't. If you prefer to reinvent the wheel on each and any part
of each an any web app you write, please feel free to do so.
If this is the wrong group to ask that question
Which "that" question ?-)
For question related to Django's ORM, the django group is indeed a
better place (as usual: always use the most specific group / maling list
/ whatever first). If you have questions (like the above) that are about
Python itself, you're at the right place.
