With its heavy adoption and promotion by Google, Python has grown from a niche language into one of the primary drivers of Internet application development.  A variety of web frameworks have been developed to simplify web application development on Python.  The most notable of these is Django – a fully integrated toolset for building scalable, reliable, and maintainable Python web applications.

Similar to Ruby and Node.js, Django offers a centralized routing architecture to send web request to the proper components.  At the view level, Django brings data validation and formatting to help simplify application development and improve time-to-market.  The database backend for Django is automatically generated, and can be built to handle foreign keys and take advantage of the relational nature of MySQL.

When integrating Django with custom backend database, it may be necessary to create a custom database layer.  In this situation, Django will not generate the database backend, and a parallel model will need to be developed as a set of backend models.  In this scenario, it is vital to synchronize the database schema with the backend models, to make sure that any database changes are also updated in the Python data models.  Failure to do so may desynchronize the system and cause unexpected system behavior.

In addition to Django, Python brings a wide breadth of plugins and ready-to-integrate code to simplify development.  The object-oriented nature of the language makes scalable development relatively easy, and the simplicity of the syntax makes the code easier to both read and maintain.
