You are comparing apples to oranges... There are application frameworks for PHP as well (CakePHP and Symfony come to mind). CakePHP, if memory serves, actually has a development of a blog described in its tutorial... > Another reason is that Python and Django encourage very clean design > while PHP is too often ends up in "spaghetti SQL wrapped in spaghetti > PHP wrapped in spaghetti HTML". It's absolutely the same thing with PHP frameworks... > 2 man/year in PHP == 2 man/week in Python/Django. This, I daresay, is an exaggeration... Let's take your own example: > And there are Python/Django blog applications that already do almost > everything (and maybe more) that WordPress does.http://byteflow.su/ > is one of them (IMHO the most promising). A quick look at the revision log: http://byteflow.su/log/ reveals that the initial commit of 60 or so files has been done on 08/14/07 (10 months ago), a second developer came on board 12/01/07 (seven+ months ago), a third one, on 01/04/08 (six+ months ago), a fourth one, on 01/16/08 (also six+ months ago). There are at least nine discernible contributors overall. Say what you will, but it still looks an awful lot like like two man- years, Django or no Django...
