I've added a page: Whiff is cool because: How do you make a page like this using another package? http://aaron.oirt.rutgers.edu/myapp/docs/W1500.whyIsWhiffCool This doesn't compare WHIFF to Django/Pylons/etc except to make the unsubstantiated claim that you can't do the stuff demonstrated on the page as easily using any other package. The claim may be wrong, but not to my knowledge. I'm looking forward to learning otherwise.

I've had a lot of luck with WHIFF ( http://whiff.sourceforge.net ) Of course I wrote it and just released it publicly recently. I'm a bit disappointed because I know a lot of people have looked at the docs and demos and there have been a number of downloads, but I haven't gotten one comment yet :( zilch nada. (There is one comment attached to one of the docs, but that was me testing the comments feature :) ). Back in the old days you could at least count on someone yelling at you about how your design was such a bad idea [Just read the docs for ca. 5 minutes.] That's perhaps because a lot of people had the same thought after short reading/trying out as me: WTF?! This is weird stuff! Why the hell would I use this instead of a Python web framework like Django/Pylons/etc. You should perhaps contrast WHIFF with the other offerings for creating web applications. -- Gerhard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Basically I don't want something which takes over the controls. I'll have to think about a better way to explain what I mean. -- Aaron Watters ( http://whiff.sourceforge.net ) === Sisyphus got ripped. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
