Pylons 0.9.2

Pylons Web Framework

Pylons
======

The Pylons web framework is aimed at making webapps and large programmatic website
development in Python easy. Several key points:

* A framework to make writing web applications in Python easy

* Inspired by Rails and TurboGears

* Utilizes a minimalist, component-based philosophy that makes it easy to expand on

* Built mainly as a customization of Myghty with Routes and Paste integration

* Harness existing knowledge about Python

Knowing Python makes Pylons easy
---------------------------------

Pylons makes it easy to expand on your knowledge of Python to master Pylons for web
development. Using a MVC style dispath, Python knowledge is used at various levels:

* The Controller is just a basic Python class, called for each request.
Customizing the
response is as easy as overriding __call__ to make your webapp work how you want.

* Myghty templating compiles directly to Python byte-code for speed and utilizes
Python
for template control rather than creating its own template syntax for "for,
while, etc"

Current Status
---------------
