Hi I have been searching through the vast array of python frameworks http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks and its quite astounding the choice available.
I am looking at using a web framework for my personal project which isn't actually aimed at developing a website as such. However I deduce that rather than creating a gui application and screen input for data, I can use a web browser for this and have a great array of tools to format input screens and output display formats. Since I will be retreiving information from several websites (usually csv files) formatting them and submitting them to a database and creating queries and printouts based on them most frameworks seem to handle this basically with ease and for any complex queries most support SqlAlchemy. Is it simply a case of just picking one and starting and I would find it hard to be dissapointed or is there a few special considerations to make, though I am unsure what they are? Most obvious ones I am considering are Django (Of course), Pylons includes SqlAlchemy, Sql Object and templating and I here turbogears plans to sit on top of this platform. Zope I am considering but I am a little confused by this. The are heaps of others but not sure how to narrow the selection criteria. How/Why woul you split Django and Pylons let alone the others? Database likely to be MySQl -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
