Django Day 1

I downloaded and started playing with Django this afternoon just because.  I've been really wanting to see how it compares in my mind to Rails, and I wanted to poke around with Python a bit because it really has been quite a while.

So far I can report that I'm pretty impressed.  There are things I like about it over Rails, and there are things in  Rails that I like over Django.  However, at this point I'm too lazy to get very verbose about it and there probably isn't anything new that I'm going to say.  Google django rails comparison and I'm sure you'll have reading material for a day.

I love the automatic admin stuff.  I'm sure that are several variations of Rails plugins to do this now but I've never really looked into them.  I like having the option to set it all up while I'm futzing with the models.py file.  And to be honest I actually like having to setup my structure in that file.  Makes me feel all tingly.

Playing around with it has given me an idea of something to work on.  I'm even thinking of registering a domain name for it.  Maybe one day I'll talk about it.
