Perhaps it’s just too easy

Quoth Titus Brown in his Avogato journal:

The main truth is that it’s clearly too easy to write your own Web framework in Python. It’s less work to code a few hundred lines of Python than it is to understand someone else’s few hundred lines of Python; it’s also easier to continue thinking like you already do than it is to adapt your thinking to someone else’s API. And, most important of all, a few hundred lines of Python is really all you need for a fully functional Web app framework. Thus, our massive proliferation of Web frameworks.

I’m not saying I agree with everything he says, but read the whole thing. Certainly food for thought.

Update: Yep, definitely too easy. Here’s another one called Pylons.

Another update: And yet another Python web framework! Ok, this is sort of funny now. Heh.
