I’m a great Symfony fan and i really found this article very interesting. You got me interested in looking further at Django. Seems like the perfect solution for big applications with high server load. Thanks for the the comparison :)

As languages go I can say that after learning both by heart, only one of the feel like a real language. And its not PHP!

Hey Thierry,

On this github repository a Djang debug toolbar is available:
http://github.com/robhudson/django-debug-toolbar/tree/master

It more or less has the same features as Symfony’s debug toolbar ( although I have to say I haven’t used Symfony ).

Greets,

Bjorn.

After reading our article shorter of two weeks ago, i decided to give django a try. And boy!, WaW. Being a java developer in the morning, python is much closer to home than php. But i never really questioned PHP because it is fast and effective.

I guess this was a time where i had to stop thinking like a getter donner and start thinking more like a mathematician in constant seek of the most elegant solution.

thanks for your post, :)

In Doctrine you can also use “abstract datatypes” like email. I am hoping that after 1.0 the datatype handling will become even more flexible. Similar to the custom datatype system I implemented in PEAR::MDB2.

Then all of this stuff just needs to be connected from the Doctrine schema down into the form handling classes of symfony and you should be able to achieve similar features as you mentioned for Django, where you can control form validation from the model definitions.

Great post Thierry. I too have a lot of Symfony experience but am consistently drawn to Django. So many things are just cleaner. The only hurdle when developing sites for clients is the sheer ubiquity of PHP in the shared hosting landscape. Anyway, thanks for the post!

the i18n of symfony is more better than of django, because symfony use XLIFF and django gettext

Regarding the DRY Templates…you can reuse templates. You actually have a great deal of flexibility with templates in Django.

You can both extend a “framing” type template and you can include “component” type templates.

http://www.djangobook.com/en/1.0/chapter04/

The bottom of this chapter details the “include” tag and Template inheritance. I recommend a read of this.

I would pick django because of Python. I can use Python in so many more scenarios than just the web frontier.
