Re: APT-Portal

 

Hi!

I think this project need to be first well structured, like what packages to
use, language. PHP for what?

" Pylons is a lightweight web framework emphasizing flexibility and rapid
development. " - http://www.pylonshq.com

It's like Ruby on Rails, but for Python. It avoid the use of SQL queries
directly with SQLAlchemy.

I don't have any experience with Pylons, but it's powerfull.
