I'm a python guy, so I haven't tried rails myself (I did read the tutorial though). I tried Django and didn't like it somewhat. One thing I don't like about it is that you have to write the same things twice, for ex. specify url resolver and reference it in config. Django is not bad but not

My opinion, as posted there, was pretty immediate and only going off of surface values. I just saw in Django what I had seen too much of in my own code. I've written similar things in Zope and Formulator that did all sorts of fancy automatic 'admin screen' generation, DBMS CRUD statements. I even

Wow- thanks for all of the replies. I'm torn. On the one hand, I'm fluent in Python and love it. On the other, Rails seems to have a brighter future, and is a bit more featureful (at this time.) However the only Ruby I know is what I've already learnt with Python(even though I would like to
