[postgis-users] Jython?

[Jorge de Jesus]

Hi
I am not familiar with TurboGears and Rails but for "geographic Python
stuff" I would suggest
GeoDJango

I think that its the best GIS development framework.

If you want to use Jython probably you should give a look at gvSIG, this
is a GIS desktop software/ GIS tools that have a Jython console and
Jython calls to the GIS functions should be a problem.

I suggest that you sign up for the specific mailing list of these
project and make the questions there

This will let me just get the thing done, rather than have to spend my time learning TurboGears first (it appears to be a fine framework, but the community and documentation are not nearly as robust as those for Rails).
