I'm afraid there isn't much in the way of documents comparing Grok to BFG or Zope 3 to BFG as a web framework. The Repoze/Zope/Grok communities overlap a good bit so everyone is quite nice to each other about their frameworks. ;-) In general, though, these days I think it's safe to say if you want Zope3, you want Grok. "Want Zope3" can be defined as "want ZODB, want Zope-style form-generation, want ZPT". If you want something smaller that feels similar but doesn't make as many choices for you, BFG is probably the way to go. One set of comparisons on the axis of "number of lines of profiler output" were made a while back: http://www.plope.com/whats_your_web_framework_doing Today, on the same benchmark, r.bfg emits 32 lines of profiler output. > It's getting cliched, but it really *is* an exciting time to be a > python-wsgi-web developer. =) It is! - C _______________________________________________ Repoze-dev mailing list Repoze-dev@lists.repoze.org http://lists.repoze.org/listinfo/repoze-dev
