< ... > I like TurboGears...there's a lot of potential there and it seems fairly straight-forward, although I am still struggling to grasp decorators. I am now working my way through the "Python Frameworks" book, which covers both TurboGears and Django. It's by Dana Moore, Raymond Budd and William Wright. The writing isn't as engaging as Ramm's, but it's not bad either. And the code examples seem to work more often than not. I did find an issue on page 110 of this book where it acts like I can run my newly created CRUD pages, but it doesn't work because it cannot import the sessions module or something. I'll create a new thread for that though. Django isn't quite as flashy (at least the examples aren't) and it uses Regular Expressions for the URI's, which I find confusing. But I'm only a beginner when it comes to web frameworks. Good luck!
