Yes, i do. I'm still not quite sure why most people choose Django over Pylons. Maybe it's the complexity (Might not be complex for the experienced Pythonista, but i feel that it's definitely more complex than Django) that steers potential users away from Pylons?
- icey 16y agoHistorically Django's documentation has been significantly better than Pylons'. That may have changed recently (I don't know, I'm not familiar with Pylons), but it gave Django a head-start with people who didn't want to have to dig through the source to figure out how to do things.
- GeneralMaximus 16y agoI've dabbled a bit in both Django and Pylons, and I've found working with Pylons is much easier than working with Django. Django has more "magic", which freaks me out. Pylons, on the other hand, mostly consists of glue code to tie different modules together and the Pylons book goes to great lengths to explain how this glue code works. Setting any one of them for development is easy: just install them in a virtualenv using pip. Can't say how they fare in production setups. I'm not there yet :p
- ubernostrum 16y agoSeems to be a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer the Pylons style, some prefer the Django style. Nothing wrong with that, and it's why we have both (as well as other frameworks for the people who don't prefer either of Pylons/Django).
