Hi I am a PHP developer and in trying to get a better tool for developing web apps, I have been strugling with zope for past few months and still could not get anything useful work up and going. I really felt that "Z" shaped learning curve. Yesterday I was looking at quixote. I was surprized how simple it is. I think quiote gives the power without getting into the way. And in just a few hours I had quite a good understanding of framework and actually got something up and working (http://www.quixote.ca/learn/1). I feel quixote is the simplest way to develop powerful web apps. I needed a simple and powerfull web framework to develop web apps that are NOT content oriented and where mostly GUI clients have ruled. And I think quixote is just the tool for me.
I also came across nevow. Its is also good, rather very good. Especially Live Page is really cool idea. It really help separate logic and presentation and is simpler than MVC thing that I could never get a nack of. Now I have three questions: Q1) Is it possibe to use "Nevow + LivePage + Quixote" together in a web app. Live Page is really important for me as I am not into content oriented web apps. Q2) Is is nessary that LivePage only with Twisted or can work with any web server like Apache. Q3) I cannot understand how to get quixote up and working under Apache using mod_python, FastCGI, SCGI (I have used only mod_php). A link to a tutorial will be good. I saw a paper A. M. Kuchling (http://www.amk.ca/talks/quixote/) that said that nevow can be used with quixote but it did not mention anything of LivePage. Please provide comments, Pros and Cons of the aproach. Links to relevent articles and tutorials are really appreciated Thanks in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
