Simon Willison speaks about mod_python. I’m getting lost in the plethora of modules/cms/templating system/web frameworks for Python. Here is a “must look at” list:
- Webware: provides Python Server Pages, CGIs, Servlets and so on…
- Cheetah: a complete and powerful templating system, it works and integrates with Webware.
- Draco: a web framework that provides sessions, persistence via DBMS, events and more.
- Twisted Matrix: the coolest and yet powerful “tool” that I’ve ever seen. If you are involved in network programming with Python you definitely must take a look at Twisted Matrix and if you don’t know Python….then learn it and use Twisted!
- Zope: Do you manage to write a web application like Amazon? Three clicks and you’ve got a working shopping cart. Zope is the word in this kinda things. Fast, powerful, lot of plugins, Plone (for CMS), ZODB (object oriented DB), an unlimited community…
