I can only speak from personal experience, and i'd expect that my experience as the author of a TurboGears book would be a bit biased.
With that said, it seems that some large companies are quietly adopting TurboGears, book sales are doing well, and the TurboGears consulting arena has picked up considerably. So, I expect both TG and Django to have live-active communities of people and companies who depend on their continued existence for many years to come. Django's continued success does not mean that TurboGears will disappear, or become less successful. Both projects are growing and bringing new people to Python, and to web development. And I expect both to continue to grow at different rates, at different times in the future. TurboGears 1.1 is going to bring new stuff to the table, which will attract new people, so I expect there will be a growth spike associated with that. Likewise the long-awated Django book will bring new people to that project and generate it's own growth spike. But, in the end, both will be successful as long as they have live communities and are used by real people to get real work done. And I don't see any danger of that stopping for either TG or Django any time in the next few years. --Mark Ramm On 5/19/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello Group, > > I am currently in the process of selecting a Python web framework for > an upcoming project > and from a technical standpoint, Turbogears appeals to me most when > compared with Django and Pylons.
