📌 Deciphering Glyph: Oh <what> a.tangled {web, we} WEAVE FROM

📌 Farmdev: What Makes Pylons Stand Out As a Web Framework
A really good summary of what’s good about Pylons. I’m glad to see that the recent 0.9.7 release adds “documentation” to the list; all too often, poor or missing documentation cripples an otherwise good chunk of code. #
