I’m a very minimal person when it comes to frameworks, I don’t generally like something that needs to generate an entire application file structure like you’d see with Django. When I was searching around for various frameworks to get me started with python and web development, I investigated the usual; DJango, CherryPy, Web.Py. I fell in love with circuits due it’s ease and simplicity, yet it can be quite powerful. This article will show you how to get Nginx setup with uWSGI along with a sample circuits.web application.

Kwolla; shows promise but lacks professionalism.
Over the years I’ve seen several social network scripts and applications pop up, dolphin, socialengine, buddypress and so forth. I’ve worked with SocialEngine on two major occasions (2.8 and 4.1.2), already went thru the painstaking process of making a script like SocialeEngine work rather decently with a fast Nginx server configuration.
