    I'm talking about Django (http://www.djangoproject.com/)

    Have your tried it?
    How does it compare to Ruby on Rails?
    Do you like it?

    I've read a lot of good things about it but am a designer not a programmer. However the idea of a painless and fast way to create custom cms's etc is VERY appealing.

    I've only toyed with it but one of the best advantages I see is that the scaffolding can be used to build an admin automatically becuase unlike rails, codeignitor, it has built-in security.

    I'm noob with python though.

    Yeah I've tried the first couple of tutorials only. 100% noob as well.

    The concept of using views and models to handle stuff seems pretty god-damn neat though

    I like rails more. Less code, less configuration, cleaner code.

    Django requires way too much configuration. There are also no standards for the directory tree. You have to configure urls to match your views. It's annoying as hell. Rails does all that for you. You don't have to configure anything.

    Pylons is very interesting, TurboGears as well. My money is on Pylons. It's very rails like. Though, it does require more code than rails. However, the ability to use any template system is really cool. I like genshi.

    I'm not a big fan of messing around with the deep configuration levels of the web server. Also, when I want to start a new app, I don't want to have to type out a new config file every time. I just never liked any of Django's processes. You might.

    "The concept of using views and models to handle stuff seems pretty god-damn neat though."

    This is just plain MVC workflow. Rails, CodeIgniter, they all follow it.

    Very good point - one thing that puts me off is the thought (or should that be impossibility?) of ever installing Django onto the kind of low budget shared hosting that many clients seem to like...

    CodeIgniter is a new one to me, worth a look?

    Codeignitor is sweet, I've not used it for any projects, but it comes from the makers of expression engine-- so there ya go.

    I highly recommend CodeIgniter. Runs anywhere with PHP and MySQL (and other popular databases). Easy to install. Easy to develop.
