Django vs GAE + Django vs GAE + other framework


I`m looking for opinion which one is better for building web applications(web sites). I have some experience with Django, and some with Google App Engine and App-Engine-Patch for Django. And it seems to me that only Django is working faster than the GAE implementation. Is there some other frameworks that simplify the developments process, providing forms creating, user management, url resolving etc.

Thanks in advance, Ilian Iliev

P.S. I am also interested in GAE and webapp framework case


Solution

  • If you have experience with Django, I would stick with Django. You'll improve quicker than you would by jumping to something entirely new.

    If you are finding GAE difficult to work with, try a Django-friendly host: Webfaction are well-liked in the Django community, and (from what I can tell) they seem to make setting up the site pretty simple. Then you can leave behind GAE's eccentricities and concentrate on improving your Django skills.
