WSGI

I like this one.

Yes, with a WSGI included, I can able to create an application without install a Web Server.
It suited for my notebook. It doesnt require much memory and cpu process, but It has all the basic feature.

Django support WSGI, thats why I like it.

I take Django

Its been a while since I started take a play with django web framework. I run their tutorial and take alook how to deal with it. At the moment, I compare django with plone. I like plone and I wish to used it as my production area, but I got stuck with their SQL Storage capability.

Plone allows you to store your data on any other RDBMS like MS-SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and etc. But, Plone required to store your object metadata at ZODB, and it must. This is it. This is the one that I dont want, Its mean, as my RDBMS data grows, then my metadata on ZODB will grows either. I dont want it. Thats why I keep delay my application to jump to Plone.

Then, I try to find other solution. I was take look at CherryPy, Webware, Quixote, and Ruby on Rail. I do like RoR and the features they have. It was amazing compare to Webware and Quixote. I want to have a python as my chosen language, I dont want to go to RoR. Then Django came. It made an explotion on Daily Python WebLog. Then I decided to take alook on it. It should be worted to test.

Now, I have a 2 nice web framework. Plone for Protoyping and Django for production area.
