Announce: PythonOnWheels (PoW)

Hi everybody,

I am announcing PythonOnWheels. (short PoW)

Projectname: PythonOnWheels
Motto: We are only on wheels but it feels like having wings

What it is: A quick and easy to use generative Web framework for python.

STOP: I know what you are thinking: " What the world doesn't need are more
lawyers and python web frameworks"

And you are right. But I am announcing this mostly to get feedback from
the community. Any really feedback is welcome.

Some years ago I saw a screencast about ruby on rails and that really blew my
mind. I Searched something equivalant for python but found only micro or mega
frameworks.
So I think there is even some space for PoW besides the fun I had and have developing it

The idea: is to make the developer focus on his/her App instead of the framework.

I did not reinvent the wheel but rely on the brilliant and proven standards out there
so PoW (and you) will need:

webob (pip or easy_install)
Mako (pip or easy_install)
Beaker (pip or easy_install)
SQLAlchemy (pip or easy_install)
nose (pip or easy_install)

So, that's all folks

I am really appreciating any feedback.
