JonRosebaugh (Chairos) says "Assuming you're interested in a MVC-style architecture, probably the most important consideration is how much support the framework has for [http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0333.html WSGI], because WSGI is the direction Python web programming is heading in. Some frameworks enthusiastically embrace WSGI, some have superficial support, and some don't address it at all. I'd recommend [http://pylonshq.com/ Pylons] and [http://www.turbogears.org/ TurboGears]."

#python.web FAQ

This is a list of Frequently Asked Questions for the #python.web IRC channel on Freenode.

Nobody's around! What do I do?

Okay, so nobody actually asks this, but we frequently see someone pop in, ask a question, and leave fifteen minutes later. A half hour later, someone unidles, and would answer the question, but the person who asked it is gone. So, if nobody answers your question, just stick around. We idle a lot.

Can you help me with mod_python?

Sure. Don't use mod_python.

It causes people no end of trouble and was never really a good idea in the first place. Yes, this is our opinion, but it's an opinion that's been borne out by experience. If you think #python.web ought to help people with mod_python, great. Come give help. We can use active people.

What framework should I use?

This is widely considered to be one of the "religious" issues, along with choice of programming editor and operating system. There's also no substitute for experimenting with a wide range of frameworks. A good list can be found at WebProgramming.

That said, people keep asking for our opinions, so here they are:

If you'd like to add your opinion, feel free to do so; if you'd like to disagree with what one of us wrote here, the best place to do that is probably on the IRC channel.

I need help with FooWeb framework! (Or: Why doesn't it work when I do bar?)

Well, we'll try to help. But we're not experts at everything, so don't be surprised if your question about running FooWeb through [:ModPython:mod_python] on IRIX goes unanswered. There are times it may be better to seek out a community specific to your framework or toolkit.

Maybe there is also a channel for your framework. Here a list of known support channels on freenode:

  • #django for Django
  • #turbogears for Turbogears
  • #pylons for Pylons
  • #myghty for Myghty
  • #pythonpaste for Paste
  • #zope for Zope 2
  • #zope3-dev for Zope 3

My question wasn't covered here.

Well, come on in and ask it. We don't bite. Really.
