inklesspen, don't all framework/orm whatever come out when a guy is frustrated with what's there and starts it's own? Doesn't Django have its own ORM?

You can say that his ORM solution is crappy, or doesn't work well, but you can't dissmiss something just b/c it is not one of the old packages. While I may not want to use his framework for anything mission critical, it seem to be a good choice for a small and app or for quick prototype development.

His main points in his framework is simplicity and ease of starting.
