Hi, I am considering Pinax/Django for a new project. When I came across Pinax, I initially liked it but after installing it locally and evaluating it for the project's requirement, I feel that most of the "apps" that come with it may not work for the project as they are, and would require some amount of customization.
I am confused whether to use Pinax or just Django. my main concerns about Pinax are - 1) It supports Django ver 1.xx whereas current stable Django is at 1.3 and the apps are also not quite upto-date 2) Code for the "ready" apps lies inside the Pinax project and there is no way to override their behaviour for a certain project only. ie. either the code inside Pinax directory will have to be modified or the app will have to be copied inside the project (and renamed to avoid conflict if I am not wrong ?) 3) Modifying the default theme looks like some work One thing in Pinax that would be helpful is the "Group" and "Group Aware" Apps - [http://pinaxproject.com/docs/dev/groups/] My experience with Django itself is very limited in the first place, never having used it in production. My background is mostly web development using PHP & Java, although I am quite comfortable with writing python scripts involving file system operations, web scraping etc. What do you suggest, Pinax or just Django ? Please share your experiences with Pinax.
