I came to Django from another direction (though I’ve plenty of time in the trenches with PHP): I came from Zope/Plone and was fed up with the overhead, convoluted development process, and total lack of documentation. Django was a breath of fresh air. Simple to get up and running, provides enough scaffolding to support whatever you want to do, then pretty much stays out of your way.

One more reason – the community. Django has a wonderful community (which is not surprising given the good reputation of the Python community).

If you can find the time give web2py a try. I’d be interested in your thoughts on it also.

@Torstein Why always after a nice Python/Django blog or article pops up the Rails zealots. It is getting old that really. We dont care if you like more Rails, The author is making a point on Django that it is more easy to work with than PHP. So bring your zealotry to another places. Thats why I dont like Rails ecosystem, it sucks with so many arrogant’s in there.

> Going back to PHP you soon start to miss the little things, such as the ability to assign multiple values at once

$v = array(‘a’, ‘b’, ‘e’);
list($a, $b, $e) = $v;
print “a=$a, b=$b, e=$e”;

But yeah, you do write more and we’re not getting any younger =)

hi,

Like how you like the Django Forms I like it as well. It seems that you’re coming from PHP? And if it is, that’s nice!
