What do I use, CherryPy or Pylons?

Question

Hi I'm planning on building a site with social networking features. Which Python framework do you think is more appropriate or you would suggest over the other, CherryPy or Pylons?

Answer 1

That's a subjective question. I suggest you read carefully each framework's description and choose the one that has the most features fitting your project.

Here's an extensive overview of the two frameworks . This should help you choose the right tool for your project.

Answer 2

As S.Lott said it is vague, so best way would be to toss a coin, and I did
head=pylons tails=cherrypy

but on toss it came standing up, so

django it is.

and a django based platorm is pinax , quoted from the site

While our initial development was focused around a demo social networking site, Pinax is suitable for a wide variety of websites. We are working on number of editions tailored to intranets, event management, learning management, software project management and more.
