importd

This is a great tool for API prototyping and testing. However, I wouldn't use it for a full-blown app. It's like using Flask. You could do it in a single file, but it rarely…

As others have said, this looks really useful for proof of concept/prototyping work. The first use case that came to mind was hackathons, actually. It'd be really nice if there…

I agree with you, but I think the use case is "that small, 3-template page I want as a quick interface", and this fits the use case perfectly. It usually takes quite a bit of…

Took the comment right out of my brain. Looks cool and very novel, bound to be an incredibly leaky abstraction though. Doesn't take away from the novelty/coolness though.

This is pretty cool. Makes stuff much more manageable.

This is good although I think it has a little to much magic for me. Everything seems to happen just by using different arguments to the 'd' function, even the settings. I think…

the resulting view ends up looking at lot like it would in flask [1]. I would be worried about the number of moving parts that are in play. [1] http://flask.pocoo.org/

So this is really cool to get started with, but I would worry that when you need to start taking advantage of various abstractions that Django provides, you'd end up having to do…

Yup, I saw that on the first pass. So you have the ability to refactor, but you are basically guaranteeing that you will need to if your app grows beyond the couple of…

That was my take as well. Why would someone want to use this when there already exist minimalist python web-servers such as flask & bottle that do not require magic?

I like the Services idea. Django's settings file is the weakest link in the framework. It's easy to roll your own settings apps if all you need to configure is your own code. But…

I already do that. I have a common_settings.py, a dev_settings.py, and a local_settings.py. That's not really the use case I am speaking of. First, it still makes you put all…

Would you mind explaining the use cases where this could be better than standard django? (or the ones that motivated you to develop it) I think it is really interesting, but cant…
