Python and Twitter Bootstrap

I currently am working in CherryPy and have a connection to a mssql database using the pymssql library. I'm looking to create a fancy front end to display the table with fancy sort, edit, and update record features. Is it possible to do this using Twitter's Bootstrap? Or should I be looking into a template engine?

I'm new to Python but from what I understand is this flow

  • Use a database library to establish connection
  • Integrate that python code into a web framework (CherryPy, web2Py, etc...)
  • Use a template engine to display the sql queries???

Thanks

Solution

  • The best way for me to display tabular data in a web app is to use datatables : http://www.datatables.net/

    There is a post on their blog on how to integrate it with bootstrap look&feel : http://datatables.net/blog/Twitter_Bootstrap_2
