Which way to go with twisted and web-programming?

First, let me address the perception that Nevow is dead. The launchpad project containing the code for Nevow (and the rest of the Divmod projects) is divmod.org on launchpad . A hardware failure has badly impacted the project's public presence, but it's still there, and other things (like the wiki and the tickets) are in the process of being recovered.

There isn't a lot of active maintenance work going on right now, but that's mostly because it's good enough for most of its users; there are lots of people who depend on Nevow and would be very upset if it stopped working. Those people have the skills and experience necessary to continue maintaining it. So, while it's not being actively promoted right now, I think it's unlikely that it's going to go away.

Nevow is still a good choice if you want support for Deferreds in the templating system you use (it's not dead). It also has a few advantages over plain Twisted Web when it comes to complicated URL dispatch. However, it is basically just a templating system.

Twisted Web is the real web server. So either way, you're going to use Twisted Web. In fact, even if you use Django in Twisted Web's WSGI container, you're still going to use Twisted Web.

So learning things about Twisted Web isn't going to hurt you.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
