hi: I need to know if i am making a mistake again. I spent last 4 months learning ruby and ruby on rails. All these seems like wasted as i find django doing much of the stuff that i need to do out of the box i.e. tested in the django svn. The biggest problem I find with rails is lack of half ass docs and attitude towards docs. I am completely happy folks not doing docs honestly if the app/gem is going to be used by them only. But when you bring out a gem to the public i subscribe to the "philosophy of how does your gem makes my life better" these means I want to know how can i use it. most of these rubygems works but i just don't know how nor i can't find out how - unless I know how to read the code or i should say read the developers mind. I think Rails should have a new philosophy RTFC - READ the f. code! Sorry for the rant.. I just wasted 4 months of my life that i will never get back! Now I also need to learn Python from scratch! Man!
Anyway I have given django a one day trial and i am very very pleased. Couple of quick question for the pros. 1. How about deployment? Capistrano works with django i mean you can make so called recipe but is there anything like that in python world.. 2. How about "consuming XML" i didn't find much docs about it. I would like to edit OPML files via the django-admin. My apps has some database stuff but mostly I am playing 90% of the time with XML files and 10% with a db. 3. There are plenty of python programs out there that is off my interest is there any "blog post" or anything that could guide me how to djangofiy these scripts/apps. * Probably a dumb question due to lack of python knowledge * 4. What about migrations i.e Schema Evolution is it in the trunk? 5. Can I hook on to django SVN for production servers? is it a good idea or should I go with released version? More ideas, pointers that will help me forget my loss (last 4 months) are also welcome :-) Cheers --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
