Well, if you want to hear what is bad about python, ask here and ask the python people about ruby. As for learning something carrier wise, learn both and learn php and cakephp. If you only know one, you are not very good. Also, you pick one and become really good with it, that is the best advise. I have seen people do awesome things with tools I could not believe in a million years were possible with them, just because they stuck with them. If you want to start somewhere, create a simple blog system with photo albums and comments and tags in both system. Make sure you finish both. Then you decide. Only thing that helps your carrier is being good at something, there are millions of people mediocre in pretty much everything. Trausti ---

I tried Django when I was focusing on making Python my primary language and. . . I went through a few tutorials, but I could not quite “get it”. At the time, though, I wasn’t terribly familiar with OOP concepts\* and when I found myself not being able to access [python.org](http://python.org) at work (long story), I went and started to work with Ruby; thats when I started to finally understand OOP. From that point, I started to work with Rails and here I am. 🙂 FWIW, I think Django is a fine framework and if I decided to go back to it, it would probably be much easier for me to pick up. That said, If you feel more comfortable with the way Rails work, I personally would just skip it and go for Pylons, since Pylons is similar to Rails in syntax and implementation (as far as I can tell). \*I think that’s the key - if you don’t have a good grasp of OOP, it would be fairly difficult for you to get up and running with any framework, whether it is Django, Rails or any other web MVC. I would suggest brushing up on OOP in your current language or any other language in parallel in learning a MVC framework.

Since you’re on a Rails list… I’ll keep this short. Django is the best solution (if you like snakes). Ruby on Rails is the best solution (if you like Trains). If you like snakes AND trains… well, you’re going to have to evaluate the pros/cons with a different set of metrics. Robby… who likes trains.
