Hi, A couple of days ago I decided that I wanted to learn Python. Currently I do the majority of my web programming in PHP but as of late I am becoming more and more frustrated with the lack of organisation and inconsistency and I want something better. It's also worth noting that I do a bit of C#, so I'm inclined towards OOP.
I'm quite experienced with PHP but I have never used a PHP framework, I have always preferred to handle things my own way... but now that I'm getting into Python I can see that frameworks are the norm and so I'm trying to narrow down my choices so that I can eventually pick one and stick with it. I heard about web.py because I use Reddit and I understand that it used to use the framework now officially known as web.py. From what I've read about it, it really sounds like the kind of framework that would suit me. My question is: what do you think caused the Reddit developers to switch to Pylons? What is it about these big mature frameworks that people love so much? Why are web developers so keen to put their code in the hands of a framework that seems to twist and distort it until the point that it feels completely unnatural? You have to understand, I'm a complete noob. I feel kinda lost right now in this world of frameworks. It took me a whole day to setup wsgi on apache with web2py, and now that I'm reading the documentation i'm finding it goes against all of my own personal coding preferences, and its scary! Please provide me with some of your valuable wisdom :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
