thread It's just a shame you're persisting with php
permalink unless I've very much mistaken, it's phython and django
rather than php
permalink I'm not.
It's all in python now!

PHP is an abortion and should be stuck in a shallow grave.
permalink Sorry (both) I realised my mistake on the way home
I meant python of course. I did also change my mind on the way home since python is quite a sweet language. django looks alright but the whole approach is fundamentally broken I think. It does do exactly what you need, but I think you'll find it hard to expand beyond a simple web app

Basically I think it should have a service based architecture, but I've probably been reading too many WCF books
permalink I've come to a similar conclusion regarding django
as I've been considering using it for a work thing but think it's a bit limited for what I'm after

that said, it seems it's quite easy to write your own framework in python so there's no need to use django if it doesn't suit
permalink I'm all for doing it myself but that looks like a lot of hard work to me
It's a pity you refuse to come over to the dark side. You'll find all the best language features of python are already in C# (ie lambdas, anonymous types, closures etc), and the environment is much easier to get to grips with. Of course you could try IronPython too, which is faster than Python (which itself if a bit of a dog performance wise -- though better than Ruby)

Shame really
