Comparison of django MTV and MVC architecture

[Mukul Chakravarty]

Can we say that views in MTV architecture is basically performing the tasks of both Models and Controller in an MVC architecture like Rails ?

I have no idea what rails does with his life, but you can still understand django under the MVC pattern: models are models, what django calls view is the controller and the template is the view.

The Django docs have an FAQ on this topic:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/faq/general/#django-appears-to-be-a-mvc-framework-but-you-call-the-controller-the-view-and-the-view-the-template-how-come-you-don-t-use-the-standard-names

"Where does the “controller” fit in, then? In Django’s case, it’s probably the framework itself: the machinery that sends a request to the appropriate view, according to the Django URL configuration."

The rest of the FAQ is worth reading for further clarification.
