Python SOUP

If you are Slovene happening to read this blog and programming/using/loving/liking/dreaming Python you should know that there is a new Slovene Python user group around – SOUP (Slovene Orthodox Users of Python).

Meet Django

I think i’ve found my perfect python web framework! Meet Django.

What you get?
(quoted from the official site)

Object-relational mapper – define your data models entirely in Python. You get a rich, dynamic database-access API for free

URLDispatcher – design pretty URLs with no framework-specific limitations. Be as flexible as you like.

Template system – Use Django’s powerful and extensible template language to separate design, content and Python code.

Cache system – Hook into memcached or other cache frameworks for super caching — as granularly as you need.

Automatic admin interface -Save yourself the tedious work of creating interfaces for people to add and update content. Django does that automatically.

right, .. all i need is some free time ….
