After hearing some rave reviews of Dojo on django-dev, I finally got around to checking it out today. Here are my thoughts (with an obvious focus towards) using Dojo with Django). The good Dojo is extremely powerful. With very little code I was able to make a really nice drag-and-drop reorderable table, complete with nice zebra striping and add/remove row buttons. (Wilson and I are working on a new kick-ass interface for Django’s “edit_inline” admin views, if anyone cares.

Django handles lots of traffic with ease; Django sites have survived slashdottings, farkings, and more. Here are some notes on how we tweak our servers to get that type of high performance. Use a separate media server Django deliberately doesn’t serve media for you, and it’s designed that way to save you from yourself. If you try to serve media from the same Apache instance that’s serving Django, you’re going to absolutely kill performance.

One of the questions asked at Snakes & Rubies was about what Django could learn from Rails (and vice versa). Once I finish wrestling Final Cut Pro to the ground you’ll be able to see how Adrian and David answered the question, but in the meantime it got me thinking about some cool features of Rails that are worth ripping off… er… being inspired by: find_or_create convenience methods. Pretty simple, so expect to see a similar method in Django pretty soon.

Sam Newman just posted a comparison of Django and Rails which is extremely balanced and fair, and a very good read. I’ve obviously got a few bits of feedback, so here goes: Background As a framework Rails has been around for little over a year, whereas as a framework in its own right django has only been public for around two months. Actually, Django’s been in use internally for over two years, although we only got the buy-in from management to release it as open-source two months a…
