Re: django and thrift

Hi,
Thank you for your comments. I am new to both django and thrift. I
am hosting my service with a shared web hosting server. That's why I
want to use django to expose a thrift API. Basically, what I want is
to have a web service that can be consumed by both python and c++. Do
you think this is possible with django?

Thanks.
