Let's see - CRSF protection - keeping things DRY - templating (or you could use many others) - user management - administrative interface - database creation/introspection - i18n - an ecosystem of pluggable add-on apps - URL routing - view decorators - easily swappable back-ends - active development across multiple lines of business - GIS support - abstracted ORM (or you could use SQLObject or its kin) to allow you mobility between DB back-ends should you want to That's just my off-the-top-of-my-head list of things that you'd have to come up with that Django happens to give you out-of-the-box. -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
