I keep telling my friends that Python rocks. Now it's time to put my money where my mouth is. I'm about to start writing a server for a phone based game. It needs to handle simlpe requests from some Java code running on the phone at a fairly low transaction rate. There will also be a simple web site allowing users to edit preferences and so forth. I have just enough Python experience to decide that I prefer it over Java for this job. It'll be on a Linux box that I have full control over.
I can see from FAQs that there are several possible ways of doing web server work in Python, e.g. Twisted or mod_python in Apache, etc. So I'm wondering:
- Could you recommend a solution you've found to be the most convenient?
I've tested a few, and when it finally came that I wanted and needed to do web application development in Python for real, I decided to use Snakelets.
So far, I find it a very convenient way to write web applications. It's also very close to how Java servlets/JSP pages work.
FWIW, the other frameworks I've tested thoroughly were Quixote and WebWare.
- Does threading cause any more of a hassle in Python than Java? - Is there anything similar to JSP in Java?
Snakelets Ypages come close to JSP.
