Neil Jensen spent some time evaluating web frameworks for an upcoming project he will be working on. He considered Django and TurboGears, but both seemed like overkill for his project. So it looks like he will be going with Pylons instead:

Eventually I wandered across pylons, a lightweight python web framework. The project focuses on providing the bare necessities for quickly creating WSGI-compliant applications and fits my particular application better. Ben Bangert provides a great overview of the ingredients behind pylons, as well as good introduction to WSGI.

When I first heard about Pylons, I thought it was just another web framework. But it seems to be generating quite a bit of buzz, and the people who have tried it seem quite happy with it. Definitely one to keep an eye on!

Pylons 0.8 has been released at PylonsHQ. Related comments are available at Ben’s blog. Enjoy.

Ben has a lengthy post up about the ingredients to the Pylons Python Web Framework. He really makes it sound quite appealing. With a new release in the works, I hope people give it a try.

Also, PylonsHQ has been redesigned since I last checked it out. It’s extremely slick. Take a look.
