I want to ask people here thoughts on frameworks, this looks well suited to a project I have, but it is built on Twisted and the preferred option of frameworks seems to be Django, now I'm a PHP coder, who is just about to step up to the python challenge so I am thinking it would be better to start with a more established framework? Thoughts would be most welcome.

Django is a framework for creating web applications. Twisted is a framework for network programming. Scrapy is a framework for scraping web pages.

If you're thinking about learning web development with Python, I'd suggest Django. Other Python web frameworks are TurboGears, Pylons, Web.py or Cherry.py. Django tends to have the best documentation and probably the largest community right now, however.

Twisted is not a web framework, so I don't think there would be any problem with using it in a Django project.
