Good idea Jason, and I will do a few tests with those additional words in the queries and if it works I will put them in. As regards the “Bakeoff”, what type of things would you see being in there? For the template engine section, I would love to have a performance comparison that showed the render time for a common page. I have done a few comparison’s already between Cheetah, Django templates and PyMeld. Maybe when I find some time I will publish them and add a few others.

Thakadu,

Perhaps your little app could become the new “Python web framework Bakeoff” using each framework and comparing and contrasting the differences. :-)

I’m most curious in seeing the movement in Pylons and Myghty. They’re at the bottom of the stack, but I don’t think they’ll stay there for long… Also, any thoughts on how to make this more accurate? “Python subway” and “python aquarium” probably have a few “false positives”… Maybe we should add “web” or “framework” to each search query?

Jason, I used java struts ;)
Ok it was really done with CherryPy mostly because I know CherryPy well and I wanted to throw this up quickly. But it is really so simple that anyone could do it in any of the frameworks in a snap. I will be looking at converting it to web.py just because I think its a nice app to use to learn a framework.
For your info, I will be expanding it to show movement this week, this month etc and also looking at pulling some figures from other sources.

Thakadu,

Rock on! :-)

Very curious… which Python framework did you end up using for this? Please don’t tell me you ended up using Rails. ;-)

Well, I have made a first attempt at this. You can find it at http://test.muti.co.za. I used the Yahoo web services API for reasons I explain on the page. For now it doesnt keep any history but if there is enough interest in this I will look at expanding it.

Amazing web.py did so well, considering it’s only been out a month or two.

Not a web framework in the way that people generally talk about the term, but you probably should include mod_python.

Search term: mod_python

web: 2,530,000

Hmmm… I think I should have searched for “webpy” to “web.py”… web search results go from the (surprisingly bottom basement – 803) to the (next to bottom basement) value of 25,900. (Sorry, Snakelets.) Searching for “web.py” in groups search goes from 28 to 98, blog search from 29 to 93… And I won’t bother rechecking the book count. ;-)
