Hi, I am not very familiar with Django, anyway, my reasons for selecting web2py are: - I believe Django naturally "fits in" to a publishing type of application. web2py seems to be more focussed on being a front-end to "applications" not so much for CMS type or newspaper type publishing. (There is a web2py based wiki/CMS app, though). Though, I agree either could fulfil any of these roles. - Django documentation is vastly superior, including third party books etc. After the v2 Web2py book, we do have solid documentation, but web2py evolves so quickly, there are always things that are documented only on the google groups, slices or wiki. - Many training courses are available pretty much everywhere for Django. Web2py needs to catch up - it will, probably. - Web2py lowers the barrier to entry into python web programming, since it is well thought out and intuitive. The support on the mailing list is fantastic, though I have no idea how good the support for Django is. w2py is easy to pick up for even a python newbie. - Massimo claims about the backward compatibility. I was surprised recently when I took an app I deployed several months (and several versions old) and retested it with the latest SVN code. And it worked fine! Which means, if my client asks for it, I could swap out old w2py with the latest code with no problems. My $0.02 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi r0g, web2py is a web-app framework (very similar to django, pylons etc) and it does not execute user form-submitted python code. It executes applications written and stored on the server-side only. You are probably referring to some other project??? Regards Anand -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Generic Python Benchmark suite?
Is there a generic python benchmark suite in active development? I am looking forward to comparing some code on various python implementations (primarily CPython 2.x, CPython 3.x, UnladenSwallow, Psyco). I am happy with something that gives me a relative number eg: ULS is 30% faster than CPy2.x etc I found pybench which is probably not maintained actively. What do you suggest? PS: I think a benchmark should cover file / network, database I/O, data structures (dict, list etc), object creation/manipulation, numbers, measure looping inefficiencies, effects of caching (memcache etc) at the minimum -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I will investigate those. I just ran the pybench, doesn't run on 3.x, 2to3 fails. I was hoping to locate something like Phoronix Test Suite (that is a suite of microbenchmarks for Linux OS) Regards Anand -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
