For those interested in investigating a Python-based "web
application framework" that isn't Zope, I suggest taking a look at
WebWare.
http://
webware.sourceforge.net
Webware has some nice features, particularly:
- java servlet-esque appserver
- python server pages (copy of .jsp, much like .adp)
- Task Scheduler ( much like ns_schedule_daily)
It comes with a handy utility class for creating a threaded
database pool. I've combined this with the postgres driver
pyPgSQL (
http://
pypgsql.souceforge.net), and a simple user table, and have
found it to be a great system for quickly building DB based web
apps.
In the true spirit of open source software, the documentation is
not very helpful. If anyone runs into any problems setting this up,
feel free to email me about it.
