I've used Django in the past and have to say it's greatest selling point is the simplicity of the admin app. So I can see your point of trying to integrate that kind of functionality into web.py. One of (imho) Django's biggest disadvantages is how everything ends up being tied together (maybe not so much if you're more familiar with the framework), which makes it difficult to do things outside of their expected frame of mind. Which brings me to my point, I would be interested in such a functionality in web.py and would probably even be willing to help out some, however I would be concerned that web.py's biggest advantage could be hurt by poorly implementing such a feature (that of it's simplicity and ease of use, because it only gives you what you need at that moment and not pieces you may not want). I have not used Turbogears and have only briefly used Django, would it be possible to take the admin app out of either of them and then integrate it into here, it might take a little bit of work, because they may expect you to be using their templating systems, processors, etc., but at least Django is relatively similar to web.py just much larger and more complex. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
