It's one of my favourites in terms of extensibility and productivity. Pyramid use the MTV pattern just like Django and does not impoze ORM or template decisions for you. However if you are a Pylons, Flask and Django developer already, I strongly recommend using pyramid_routesalchemy paster template.

Pyramid is also known for its extensibility and I have noticed people getting confused on Pyramid extensibility. Pyramid is a Python library so you can go ahead and easy_install any Python library and use it for your own good.

You can extend Pyramid within two ways.

  • By writing a plugin for it.
  • By the freedom provided by the Pyramid API.

I was going to build this CMS with Yii framework however I have changed my decision. The CMS will be developed with Grails and Qooxdoo. The whole application will rely on Grails and for the admin panel instead of getting busy with lots of front-end stuff I will use Qooxdoo.

Let me introduce my tools for the job first. Qooxdoo is a great JavaScript framework which lets you create rich internet applications with its impressive GUI toolkit. Grails, on the other hand, is a great web framework which you use Groovy with and runs on top of the Java Virtual Machine. Both of these two frameworks are open source, under active development and very open to improvements.

In this short entry, I will make a comparison of two popular Python web frameworks, Django and web2py.

  • Django is an MTV framework, web2py is a MVC framework.

  • Web2py lets you focus on developing your application, Django doesn't. It wants you to do all its stuff...

I have never thought web development would be fun and joyful with Java until I saw Play. Only Play was able to change my mind. If you are a Java developer and developing web applications with other frameworks or if you are a web developer who wants to develop web applications with Java I strongly suggest you giving Play a try. I see many Rails developers want to try Grails, ofcourse I encourage them for this however I recommend them trying also Play framework.
