Does anyone have experience with using JS Libraries with Django?
Do some work better than others and are easier to code with?

You might want to ask this on the django list.

Cheers,

Or on a JavaScript list ;-) It doesn't matter much in what context you
use the JavaScript library (Django, Ruby on Rails, PHP, ...).

FWIW I'm using JQuery with great success. It's really amazing what you
can do with it with very little code.

I didn't realize there was a Django list.
I will direct my questions there.
Thanks for the suggestions.

yes - pyjamas - http://pyjs.org - although, strictly speaking, it's a
python widget-set and python-to-javascript compiler.

the possibility now of being able to program in python both client-
side (to generate the front-end) and server-side is just _such_ a
relief.

i now almost exclusively use django and pyjamas, for all web
development.

i just did a quick review of one of the alternatives to pyjamas -
qooxdoo.org - which actually looks pretty good, except then you think
"hang on a minute - this is near-identical functionality to pyjamas,
i'm a python programmer, i'd have to get involved with javascript,
what the _hell_ am i _thinking_!"

http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/9dad05e276c99a0c/d0c6dee57d89d376?lnk=gst&q=pyjamas#d0c6dee57d89d376

basically, pyjamas turns the web browser into a desktop widget set
platform. apps are written in the same declarative style as python-
qt4 and python-gtk2 and python-wxwidgets.

all the browser incompatibilities are taken care of, with seamless per-
platform overrides for Netscape, Mozilla, Safari, Opera and IE.

so it couldn't _get_ any easier.

you don't even need to know any javascript - just a bit of CSS and
some HTML.
