Compare tipfy and kay-framework?

[Matt C]

I'm curious about both of these. From a quick overview, they are both
well regarded, and to my newbie eyes, seem to be fairly similar to one
another.

Is there anyone who has tried both who could highlight the most
important difference(s)?

Also, I see that the owners of both tipfy and kay sometimes post
here. Comments from either of you about your favorite feature or what
makes your framework different from other frameworks would be
especially appreciated.

Heya,
Uh, only saw this message today.

I'm responsible for tipfy. Yep they are similar as both are based on
several same libraries - Werkzeug, Jinja2, Babel, and so on. From my
perspective the main difference is that kay follows a django'ish
approach for the views organization, and tipfy is more like webapp (so
we call them handlers :P). Besides the function vs class matter and
general project organization, I think both have several things in
common - a light core and a middleware system to plug extra
functionalities, and so on.

Hi Matt,

Sorry for a late reply.

Thank you for having interest in Kay and tipfy.
As everyone said in another thread, they are both nice i think.

As moraes said, with Kay, you can basically define your views as
functions, but you can also use a class based view which is very
similar to webapp's one.

A big change for the next new release is CRUDViewGroup feature which
allows you to build CRUD+list functionality with a few lines of code.
The next release (0.10.0) will be released soon, someday in this May.

In case you haven't notice, let me introduce Kay's discussion group
