Pimping opportunity

Tip off for Stuart: The new Python Wiki includes an index of available web frameworks, but there’s no mention of Castalian yet.

  1. It does now mention Castalian :-)

  2. Cool :) Have you thought about trying to implement Castalian as a full on Apache module? As a PHP coder with a strong interest in Python the only thing putting me off Castalian is the need to run is as a CGI. That said I can't wait to have a play with it at some point.

  3. No, I haven't. Well, I have thought about it, in a kind of negative way ;) There are two reasons for this: the first is that it is currently a pure Python script, and it won't be if it needs to become an Apache module (although possibly it could work under mod_python or something). The main reason, though, is that at the moment setting it up involves putting the CGI somewhere under your webroot and adding a line to .htaccess. That's *it*. Setting up anything more complicated than that annoys me no end and makes it less likely that people will use it, I think. I can't see what's wrong with CGIs, myself ;)
