Hello everybody ,
I am a student major in software engeering .

There are many good ones.

Implement yet another web framework? It needs to be made harder so
people can stop doing it all the time. ;-)

You might want to watch the 20 min turbogears video for a laid back
approach of familiarizing yourself with a python web framework:

Thank you very much !

Yes : forget it.

Why forget it? I've written my own web framework
(http://www.unrealtower.org/) and it works great! It was a good
learning experience in using mod_python. Besides that, I found the
existing frameworks not quite suitable to my taste, and I like my own
much more.

Please, feel free to take a look at it, and let me know what you think
;-)

In fact, there are actually too much *good* python web frameworks.

Dear Mr. BDFL,

there are too many good web frameworks nowadays. Please eliminate three.

PS: I am *not* a crackpot!

Some reasons:

- Waste. When you write your own framework, you are helping yourself.
If you use an existing framework and possibly contribute patches to it,
you help other people too.

- Other people have already solved your problems, also problems that
you can't think of yet.

- Not reusing code is just plain evil.

True. And if that doesn't have a negative effect on others (which I
think it doesn't) there is nothing wrong with that.

If you use an existing framework and possibly contribute patches to
it, you help other people too.

Also true, but there is more to it. If I can create my own framework,
get more experienced, and be able to spare time in the long run
because I can quickly implement features I want, it makes me a more
efficient and experienced person. That leaves me more useful when
helping people, and gives me more time to help them too.

I have no problems. My web framework is working just as I want it to.

also problems that you can't think of yet.

What problems didn't I think of yet?

- Not reusing code is just plain evil.

I'm using mod_python, Cheetah, SQLObject and PostgreSQL. I publish all
my own code under an Open Source license so other people can learn
from and contribute to it. How am I not reusing code?

Bruno,

In fact, there are actually too much *good* python web frameworks.

I tended to share that opinion, just because there are more web
frameworks then keywords in Python. But we should stop thinking of this
as a bug; it is a feature.

Because everyone and his girlfriend creates an own web framework for
Python, we have a clear security advantage over other languages. One
"ruby on rails" worm will bring down at least 2000 web 2.0 beta sites.
A worm for a Python web framework will be incompatible with all others.

Seems like I should have added a smiley somewhere...

Naah, smileys unneeded -- you'll notice that my "I am not a crackpot"
comment was unsmilied either (and nobody nominated it for QOTW, darn!).
Having just coincidentally finished wrapping up the 2nd edition's
Nutshell first draft of the chapter on serverside web programming, after
a long time researching all the alternatives I've given up on even
MENTIONING all of the frameworks available, much less providing any
in-depth coverage, so I'm quite sensitized to the situation!-)

Naughty! That's like trying to end a thread by saying "Hitler".

Damn. More reading ...

Damn. More reading ...

Even more reading as of tomorrow, when I get my Web Application
Framework article up on my blog.

Even listing the vast number of frameworks & toolkits out there is
daunting, so I figured I may as well share my own outlook.

And FWIW, I have abandoned my own contribution, so that's one less out
in the wild!
