Do I really need a web framework?
I want to set up a very simple website, and I need to know if it is necessary to use a web framework (e.g. Django) to do basic interactive operations such as receiving input from the user, looking up a database and returning some data to the user. I know that this is exactly the purpose of web frameworks, and that they work fine. However, I read somewhere that for small projects such operations can be managed without a web framework, just by using Python with mod_python or with the CGI module. Is this correct? What do you suggest, keeping in mind that I am a newbie and that my website project would be very simple and very small? Thanks -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Will Python 3.x ever become the actual standard?
I am starting to have doubts as to whether Python 3.x will ever be actually adopted by the Python community at large as their standard. Years have passed, and a LARGE number of Python programmers has not even bothered learning version 3.x. Why am I bothered by this? Because of lot of good libraries are still only for version 2.x, and there is no sign of their being updated for v3.x. I get the impression as if 3.x, despite being better and more advanced than 2.x from the technical point of view, is a bit of a letdown in terms of adoption. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
How to turn off Python's event log window in the background?
Hi, whenever I run the Leo editor (a Python application) from Windows (8.1), there is always an event log window in the background. I want to turn it off. It was suggested to me on another forum that I use pythonw.exe instead of python.exe to prevent the window from being displayed, but I don't know how to do this, because it is all automatic: I just click on the .py file, and the python interpreter is automatically loaded. Could someone please tell me how to disable the event log window? Thanks -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
