The next generation web framework that scales with you.¶

TurboGears 2 is built on top of the experience of several next generation web frameworks including TurboGears 1 (of course), Django, and Rails. All of these frameworks had limitations that frustrated us, and TG2 was built as an answer to that frustration. We wanted something that had:

Real multi-database support
Support for Horizontal data partitioning (aka, sharding)
Support for a variety of JavaScript toolkits, and new widget system to make building ajax heavy apps easier
Support for multiple data-exchange formats
Built in extensibility via standard WSGI components
Programmer friendly template system that also works for designers
