active community

★ add’s some fresh air to your

architecture

why not other compet i tors?

django: no!★ less code more magic

★ not so flexible

(specification is growing)

★ using SQLAlchemy within

could be tricky

drupal : no!★ security problems

(370 CVE entries)

★ integration is more difficult

(PHP vs. Python)

★ missing features

workflow, complex ACL, etc.

openerp : no!★ quite complex: CRM, sales,

accounting and much more

★ not enough time

to fully investigate it

★ not a generic framework

results

What matters?

Proper Tools

and a good team

★ Prototyping - it’s always a

lot of fun, but...

★ be aware of The

Learning Curve Effect

★ Collecting specification and

keeping docs up-to-date

(a real on-going process)
