Adrian, what you describe here is *exactly* what I call "no Ajax
support": you have to handle the whole thing manually, the framework
doesn't provide anything by itself. Would you say the CGI module offers
support for templating, data persistance and Ajax as well ?-)
And BTW, Ajax is not a client-side techno, it's a combination of client
*and* server-side technos. TurboGears support Ajax (well, a variant of,
since it's based on JSON, not XML) by having a pretty good, JSON aware
javascript lib (mochikit) for the client side *and* an OOTB JSON
serialization on the server side.
Hope that clears things up !-)
(PS : please, let's not start a Django-vs-TurboGears war, the
Ruby-Python pissing context is enough of a PITA)
