Using Python With TurboGears

Python has enjoyed great success over the years as a scripting language, with its succinct syntax and minimalist focus. Legions of "Python-istas" have carved out numerous uses for the language, ranging from graphical interfaces all the way to robotics, but until recently, database-backed Web applications were one glaring void that remained to be filled by the Python community. With TurboGears, one can now make use of Python for putting together best-of-breed Object-Relational (O/R) mappers, template toolkits, and other ancillary parts needed to bring database-backed applications to the Web with Oracle database technology.
