Question

I am having to look into some code and consider working in a Python framework called Glashammer.

I know and love Django. I have some experience with Appengine native framework and Django on Appengine.

I’d like to know from you that have used one or more of those, how Glahammer compares and contrasts with others. What are there any Pros and Cons and what else do I need to be aware of.

Answer 1

I am highly biased, because I am the Glashammer author. But the pros for me are:

• Werkzeug-based framework removes much of the boilerplate in creating Werkzeug based
  applications
• Easy pluggability and high flexibility: 2 levels of plugins, Appliances which are reusable components and Bundles which are behavioural
  modifiers.
• Well unit tested
• Documentation is not bad (for an open source project)

Versus something like Django, I would just have to say “Werkzeug-based, with a nicer plugin framework.”

Did I mention the code is beautiful like a glowing orb of … (oh maybe this is subjective)
