Django
From Reporting Cookbook: www.forjournalists.com/cookbook
Django is "a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design." It is used to build database-driven web sites at several newspapers and other sites. At the Washington Post, Django is used for both external Web site applications and to display data internally.
Django, which is an open-source project, requires Python, a database (PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQLite), and a web server. More information can be found at the project's site. There is a Django book under way by the framework's lead developers; the book is being written on the Web as well as for print publication.
