Pylons vs Turbogears


I am considering whether I should use Turbogears or Pylons for my project. I know Turbogears2 is based on Pylons. What does Turbogears provide that Pylon doesn't? Thanks.


Solution

  • Turbogears emphasises integration, while Pylons emphasises modularity -- with TG2, you're getting such components as genshi, toscawidgets, and sqlalchemy, all integrated and coordinated. Of course you could integrate and coordinate each of them (or other templating systems, widget systems, ORMs, etc) with Pylons, but no doubt many people will prefer to get the complete package (and the peace of mind that comes from knowing everything has been tested in that specific version and configuration) rather than getting each piece separately and doing their own integration.
