I have a friend that’s a Python hacker and he’s been keeping the friendly rivalry between Ruby and Python alive between us. A while back, he gave in and worked in Rails for a couple of weeks to give it a try.

For the last two weeks, I have returned the courtesy and have been working with Django and Google App Engine. I love Django! It rocks! Auto documentation (better than rdoc), Auto Admin Interface, Modular Apps, what’s not to love?

I don’t think I’ll readily give up Ruby just yet for scripting work, but I’m definately pushing Rails to a back burner for a while. I’m building a production site for a friend in Japan using Django right now, so when I’m done I’ll post a more thorough review.
