what kind of framework? i was seeing khan academy videos that teach python and they did not use any framework and the basic things were same as in php (conditionals, loops, function, etc), no OOP. OOP might be used for some advanced stuff but that stands true for php too.
Also a note from me too, i am not against python or ruby. They are great. I am just trying to make sense of what i observe daily.
- icebraining 15y agoYou need a framework and OOP if you want to use Python for the web. Without them you can't really move beyond simple terminal programs. The thing is that many people don't really want to learn to program: they do it as a way to accomplish other goal (in this case, create a website for some purpose). So they aren't likely to have the patience to learn in a structured way - often start by copy-pasting snippets and examples and learning as they need. PHP fits right into that mindset; in fact, it was originally designed for that: as a set of tools for people who just wanted to add some small feature to their mostly static personal site. And even if it has added a lot of advanced stuff, that quick-and-dirty approach is still easy.
