I now understand the purpose and worth of Django. What, then, are
the questions I need to ask potential hosts? I'm leaning toward Linode, but
would also like affordable managed hosting.---- On Sun, 26 Mar 2017 04:16:52

and expand it a little, take a look at a Python micro-framework like Pylons
http://pylonsproject.org/It's smaller than Django and is a useful tool for a
different type of website.For instance take Authentication and Authorization -
logins. Not every site needs one. Django has it by default. If you don't need
it, maybe Pylons is a better fit. But be aware - when you have to actually
write some code that makes user accounts and logins happen in Pylons, that's
when you will discover that Django's "batteries included" philosophy really
works for some style of projects.cheersL.------The most dangerous phrase in the

language. You can use it to write many types of programs. For example, you can
use it to write web applications (which run on a web server, respond to HTTP
requests, store their data in a database, render HTML templates for output,
etc.). But doing this from scratch would require you to write many modules of
Python code yourself, in order to handle all the common and necessary parts of
a typical web application.Django provides those things for you, already
written, so that you do not need to write them yourself. Instead, you can write
only the things which are truly unique to your specific application, and let
already-written modules from Django handle the rest. -- You received this
