If you know that many Python web frameworks, I'd really like to hear
about
it. (I've seen several, yes, but some were very outdated and and not
maintained anymore)
Because I don't know much of them it's hard to say what I missed.
"Several" is a very dramatic understatement.
* Django
* Pylons
* TurboGears
* Zope
* Karrigell
* SkunkWeb
* Webware
* CherryPy
* web2py
* Albatross
* Aquarium
* Python Servlet Engine
* Quixote
* Snakelets
* WebStack
And that's still not the complete list. That's why I asked the
question. I almost didn't ask, because I didn't want to sound like I
was suppressing innovation, but I have to believe it would be better for
the community as a whole to embrace and enhance one of the existing
packages, rather than start over from scratch.
I find better for a community to have a few large projects acting like
locomotives for the rest. That's exactly what happens with Python and
the web.
Among the products you've mentioned, today's main actors are probably
Django and Zope. They have demonstrated, and still do, that Python is a
good environment for long term, powerful and dynamic projects. A
platform a company can rely on. The others demonstrate that the
community still strives for innovation and can challenge the
estblishment. I find that attitude quite sane.
Having the whole community focused on one single project doesn't make it
better. I wouldn't say Ruby on Rails is that better because there is
hardly any competition in the Ruby world for it.
