I'm a complete Python n00b just starting to get interested in the language. Could somebody please explain why I might use this instead of Django for web app de

  Full disclosure: I prefer Django for almost everything. If Pyramid continued the tradition of Pylons (and I think it did), then the major selling point is modularity. It's an amazing backbone which allows you to use your favorite open source projects for things like ORM, Template Language, etc. While other frameworks do allow you to switch out those "core" components if you play around with it enough, Pyramid/Pylons supports practically everything out of the box. Someone with more familiarity with the framework feel free to correct me on this.

    Pyramid discards the Pylons 1.0 code and builds on repose.bfg: http://docs.pylonsproject.org/faq/pylonsproject.html http://docs.pylonsproject.org/faq/pylonsproject.html

      I'm sure Pewpewarrows is aware of that, he talked about tradition not source code.
