When I started hacking in Python which was over a year ago, I started with Django. That was a mistake because Django has too much magic which leaves the newbie clueless - I switched to Pylons and it has always felt right. Additionally Pylons has allowed me the necessary space to grow my skills and the Pylons apps I build now are very customized.
That was my experience - I think you should try out Django, Pylons and a few other frameworks to see what suits your style.
- mrtron 19y agoDjango contains almost no magic...they intentionally removed anything like this after I think 0.95? What is an example of this magic?
- kashif 19y agoSurely, there is the possibility that I tried Django before the magic was removed...
- nostrademons 19y agoAs mrtron points out, most of the magic was removed fairly recently, and modern Django code is fairly intuitive. I also first looked around Jan 2007, and discounted Django because there was too much magic. But I took a second look in Dec 2007 and it was much, much better.
