Trac is indeed very cool. I set it up on my development PC to manage a nascent project of mine, mostly because it's about the only python-based wiki I can stand. The bug tracking features are also great to have, even if not needed at this stage, and the extensibility is a real bonus. It's too bad the PyWebOff analysis doesn't apply, but I'm sure it'll come in handy for other projects (and other people). It's annoying that wxWidgets doesn't support RTL text, but hardly surprising. Its developers seem to be spread much too thin, and as a result it always seems to be missing functionality and polish. And testing. If GTK wasn't so ugly (maybe fixable with a theme) and so onerous to install on Windows, pyGTK would make a great alternative. Unfortunately your blog (especially older posts) seems to be suffering from comment spam, such is the price of fame. Hi Greg, I didn’t know you’d started a blog.

I really do love the idea of developing web applications in Python, but nothing has compelled me as much as Rails, and I haven't found any good, simple, end to end solutions in Python. Don't get me wrong -- there are a ton of ways to write Python web apps, just none that are as simple and compelling as Rails. I like Python the language a lot more than Ruby, mainly because of the "more than one way to do it" perlish approach taken. I like the simplicity and boundaries of Python. Is there anyone out there working on a Rails-like all-in-one web application kit for Python? I have to agree with you here.

Replace “the Python community” with “the open-source community” and it will still be true, and even sadder…
