I have been writing websites as a hobby in PHP for a few years, but I want to switch to Python for various reasons. I have been advised to look into Django, but I am not sure that it fits my needs. My sites are mostly static HTML, generated from a header.inc and footer.inc file with code like <title>$title</title> and the page including that sets the $title variable before calling the include. This way, I don't have to code the website design into each page, and I can make changes to just the include files to be propogated across the site. I also have some pages the interact with a MySQL database, and I parse the query string extensively in those situations to keep friendly urls. See my photo gallery, for instance, which is all database driven, but has nice urls for all pages: http://dotancohen.com/eng/pictures/index.html
Would Django be overkill for this type of website? Is there a better alternative? One of my goals in switching to Python is to broaden my exposure to the language as I intend to move into developing Qt applications soon. Thanks for any and all advice. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
