A lot of that depends on what you would consider a feature vs. what you think a modern web framework should provide by default.
Aside from the points listed on the home page, I would suggest going to the documentation page and look down the list of reference topics. Those are all "features" in a sense. You can get more specific by going to one of the topics and concentrating on the subtopics in the right-hand sidebar. Anything that says "New" or "New in development version" probably isn't in 0.96. Frankly, many devs and companies run off of trunk since new commits are rigorously tested against the pretty comprehensive test suite. You might also check here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/release_notes_0.96/#what-s-new-in-0-96 The fact that Django is implemented in Python is a huge win in itself for many people. The Django community and Python in general are fortunate to count a lot of extremely talented and gracious people. Python has started to turn a lot of heads recently due to the success of Django, Google hiring Guido, Google App Engine, etc. The landscape has changed a little but it can be said that people who learned Python in the past did so because they appreciated the elegance of the language. In my experience engineers who use Python (generally) just seem to be a little more well rounded to me. That's not to imply that people who learn Python suddenly become better engineers, rather that better engineers have gravitated toward Python. For me, a vibrant community and a well designed product outweigh any generic feature list. The best framework (whatever that is) isn't going to solve all your problems or magically make your applications run better. Once you get beyond "hello world" a good framework should reduce the boring, repetitive work but you'll still have to solve some problems on your own. Personally I'd rather solve those problems using Python than other languages I've used. Python itself has a tremendous ecosystem of libraries and modules. -Brian On Jun 26, 2:21 pm, Phillip B Oldham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm looking to propose python+django for a new project at work, as I > feel it will be a good fit.
