Hello all,

I am new to the Python web-programming world and trying to decide on frameworks. I was really impressed with Django, but ran into some problems with IIS hosting. Since Pylons had really nice install instructions for IIS, I started to take a look and I like the philosophy. The WSGI from the ground up mentality seems to be a real plus.

However, I have run across a show stopper for me with Pylons unless I have missed something in the documentation. Does Pylons support some kind of module/plugin architecture that will allow me to develop "plug- in" functionality across Pylons projects? What would be called in Django an "app".

For example, I would like to have a "news", "blog", and "calendar" module that I can plug into different applications. The goal is to have everything for the module contained in one subdirectory including any configuration, routing, templates, controllers, model, etc. So, something like this:

/modules/news/... /modules/calendar/... /modules/blog/...
