After reading Jeff Croft's back to the great frameworks debate post last week, and as someone who is wading into the Django framework - I decided to look at the hard evidence for which Python web frameworks are gaining currency, at least in the eyes of Google. I compared worldwide search volume for django, zope, web2py, and turbogears.
The result is pictured -- and it turns out that Django is at the top and gaining. The recent release of the 1.0 version of the Django, as well as getting an explicit nod of approval from Guido van Rossum over at Google's App Engine certainly helps.
Alas, Python's Django is a long way from having the kind of mindshare that Ruby on Rails still enjoys, but as Robert F. Kennedy said about politics- what's right isn't always popular, and what's popular isn't always right.
