I have a question that is so similar to this that I've decided to jump on this thread. I program scientific desktop apps in python, usually using the Enthought Tool Suite. I know nothing about web programming. I'm now considering running my apps on some kind of server and controlling with a browser. I read data from instruments, and/or enter parameters by hand, then run an app that crunches the data producing graphs and, in my dreams, animations. Can Django do this smoothly? Is it the wrong tool for this kind of thing? What would be the right tool? I've never in my life needed or used a database, but most Django tutorials I see involve databases. I store data in hdf5 files. Are there examples of Django programing that don't depend on a database? Are databases an essential part of using Django? (I really would rather not learn about databases for the sole purpose of understanding a tutorial.) Should I be looking at other solutions (pyjamas?) ? -gary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
