I'm putting together a development site. The first step includes a placeholder page that describes the tools that will be used and/or available on the site. I plan to use TurboGears 2 for the the site meta-content while waiting for a certain killer CMS to come available, after which TG2 will remain as a wrapper for session management and to model deployment recipes for WSGI apps. How I describe TurboGears in the placeholder page will probably be carried forward to the production site. This is the Draft:
TurboGears 2 is a web framework for Python that provides the MVC programming pattern with sane development defaults that is, in my opinion, more suitable for small enterprises than Django. This is not to say that TG2 is more or less appropriate for large scale projects than Django or other frameworks, only that Django is a little fuzzy on how well it scales down to the individual developer level while TurboGears more clearly supports individuals and smaller teams within its model. This is the context: http://www.kolonelpanic.org/ It's important to me to not only accurately describe the tools I plan to use for the site and/or make available to the users, but to do so in a way that is satisfying to those who are developing those tools. Hopefully it will be good marketing for the components, something that involves not only good opinions but an accurate description that is consistent with the message that the developers will be promoting. Specifically, I want to answer the question "Why didn't you use Django?" in a manner that is both clear and uncontentious. Since the site is targeted at individual developers and smaller teams, it makes sense to emphasize that as the key element of my decision, although my main concern is ease of integration for deployed components.
