I don't know, but every time I see a strange data structure with regular expressions in it that is supposed to define my web application URL structure, my skin crawls. I think the simplicity of FILE_PATH==URL is one of the main reasons for the popularity of PHP -- other than that I can't think of any excuse for PHP. If python had a framework that had a simple and straightforward organization 5 to 10 years ago I don't think either PHP or Ruby/Rails would have ever evolved. BTW, this was one of the primary reasons I created WHIFF -- I wanted a structure where I just dropped files into a directory and they were automatically treated as applications or middlewares with an URL derived from the file path with associated services which could be combined in a natural fashion... There wasn't anything like that available, so I had to create it. -- Aaron Watters === http://aaron.oirt.rutgers.edu/myapp/amcharts/doc http://aaron.oirt.rutgers.edu/myapp/docs/W1500.whyIsWhiffCool less is more. _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
