Hi everybody. I'm java developer , and I like comparing web frameworks. Members of django community talk a lot about easiness of django especially comparing with java frameworks. But they have not compared all aspects. And I want to compare one of them. As user of good web framework I want to have documentation on my computer and have possibility to read it offline. Let's compare spring framework and django. To get spring documentation I can download spring , and this zip file contains apis , reference manuals (in PDF and HTML formats). Or I can visit this page http://www.springsource.org/documentation and download PDF or view HTML online (we will not take viewing HTML online into account , I've mentioned about it only to be honest).
And now most interesting , let take a look at django. When you download django you have documentation in ReStructured Text format http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/faq/general/#how-can-i-download-the-django-documentation-to-read-it-offline. This format is not very readable so I've decided to convert it to html or something other. I was very surprised when I found makefile in the root of doc folder. GREAT , to read documentation offline we need to install make.But not all python developers , especially web developers know something about make. Ok , I've installed make. But after that I found out I need to install one more tool Sphinx But Sphinx requires some dependencies and the easiest way to install them all is installing easy_install. Ok I've installed easy_install and Sphinx but after that I've got error about absence of some module (djangodocs).On this stage I gave up. It's very interesting why I can't download django documentation in the same way as I can download spring documentation or python documentation (http://docs.python.org/download.html) ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
