Re: Django Produces Python?

If you want managed hosting, all you have to do is ask if they can host django.

You normally install django in a virtualenvironment - so as long as they allow virtual environments you are probably good to go. Most managed servers that can install python work with Django - Django is a pretty well known framework.

If you are not leaning towards a managed environment all you need is a linux installation on the server - it's easiest to install on linux, but can be done in windows as well.

I now understand the purpose and worth of Django. What, then, are the questions I need to ask potential hosts? I'm leaning toward Linode, but would also like affordable managed hosting.

If you take James' answer and expand it a little, take a look at a Python micro-framework like Pylons http://pylonsproject.org/

It's smaller than Django and is a useful tool for a different type of website.

For instance take Authentication and Authorization - logins. Not every site needs one. Django has it by default. If you don't need it, maybe Pylons is a better fit.

But be aware - when you have to actually write some code that makes user accounts and logins happen in Pylons, that's when you will discover that Django's "batteries included" philosophy really works for some style of projects.

Python is a programming language. You can use it to write many types of programs. For example, you can use it to write web applications (which run on a web server, respond to HTTP requests, store their data in a database, render HTML templates for output, etc.). But doing this from scratch would require you to write many modules of Python code yourself, in order to handle all the common and necessary parts of a typical web application.

Django provides those things for you, already written, so that you do not need to write them yourself. Instead, you can write only the things which are truly unique to your specific application, and let already-written modules from Django handle the rest.
