Any web authors using Python out there? I need advice.

Hi Kevin,

I am not much of the frame work type .... and haven't used any till now
.... as a suggestion 'Flask' framework is supposed to be light to work with.

Apart from CGI the other thing which works with Python is wsgi. Mod_wsgi on
Apache, is well supported by some of the known frame work existing. As far
as mod_wsgi is concerned, the author, Graham Dumpleton,  in all his
patience provides great support apart from people on mod_wsgi mailing list.

I just finished a small project scripting python/cgi with sqlite. As it was
a small project, I did not use any frameworks.

Keeping in mind that it is a hobby project, maybe jQuery can be integrated
to work with hexagonal's and extended further as desired.

My 2 cents on the topic.

Thank you

Nitin Chandra
