This is from 2005.
I'd be very interested in hearing which of the criticisms against Django are still relevant, and which have been fixed. I've been using Django for a few years, and love it, but I don't really know what the state of Django was in 2005 and many of the things mentioned seemed, to me, to no longer be present. Then again, I haven't used web.py, so maybe there is a better way than Django in some areas I'm not aware of.
- LeonidasXIV 14y agoweb.py was viewed as a big joke, because it was quite crude. Django has merged the magic-removal branch a long time ago, pre 1.0 and since the newforms branch (also merged aeons ago) it can generate forms and validation. The template language is limited by choice which might or not be a good thing. Personally I think the idea is good, just the execution is inferior to Jinja2. If you don't like it, you can replace it, that's what loosely coupled means. aaronsw things loosely coupled means it is a library. It is not, it has stayed a framework and that hasn't changed since 2005.
