I'm in the same boat.... a few weeks in.....

I've found that most of the python frameworks are based on the python
cherrypy server. Thats a good place to work out how the webserver part
of the non-zope systems work. ie django etc

So that is the webserver part....

then you need to build your webpages....

I have found Cheetah.... which is pretty powerful... that is a
templating system to build the actual pages from the database content...

that works nicely...

obviously django and pylons wrap all these basics into a 'product'...

so it depends if you want to learn all the basic pieces
(CherryPy/Cheetah)... or jump straight into the high level stuff
straight away (pylons/django)...

depends how much money your boss is throwing your way i guess....

cherrypy server.

"most" ? Turbogears < 2.x set aside (TG2 runs on top of pylons), I
didn't heard of much cherrypy-based frameworks (except possibly for
home-grown unpublished ones).

of the non-zope systems work. ie django etc

Django was initially designed to run on mod_python, then added support
for fcgi and wsgi IIRC.

So that is the webserver part....

then you need to build your webpages....

I have found Cheetah.... which is pretty powerful... that is a
templating system to build the actual pages from the database content...

from whatever content...

that works nicely...

There are quite a couple other templating systems. One could mention
Mako, Genshi, TAL, Breve, Jinja, etc...

obviously django and pylons wrap all these basics into a 'product'...

Django has it's own templating system (and it's own ORM)[1]. Pylons
(which is a 100% wsgi-based framework) default to Mako (templating) and
SQLAlchemy (ORM), but these are only defaults

[1] you can of course use other templating systems and ORMs with it, but
then you'd loose most of what makes Django interesting...

Python syntax in Lisp and Scheme

I'd like to know if it may be possible to add a powerful macro system to Python, while keeping its amazing syntax, and if it could be possible to add Pythonistic syntax to Lisp or Scheme, while keeping all of the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
