As a Python programmer, do you ever feel like Django has permeated everywhere? I was surfing on YouTube today, and I stumbled upon this video of Adrian Holovaty. Heh, nicely done, Adrian!
In his keynote at PyCon, Eben Upton, the Executive Director of the Rasberry Pi Foundation, mentioned that not only has Minecraft been ported to the Rasberry Pi, but you can even control it with Python . Since four of my kids are avid Minecraft fans, I figured this might be a good time to teach them to program using Python. So I started yesterday with the goal of programming something cool for Minecraft and then showing it off at the San Francisco Python Meetup in the evening. The first problem that I faced was that I didn't have a Rasberry Pi. You can't hack Minecraft by just installing the Minecraft client. Speaking of which, I didn't have the Minecraft client installed either ;) My kids always play it on their Nexus 7s. I found an open source Minecraft server called Bukkit that "provides the means to extend the popular Minecraft multiplayer server." Then I found a plugin called RaspberryJuice that implements a subset of the Minecraft Pi modding API for B

I am new to Python, does Django and Aquarium compliment each other ?

No, they don't.
If you want a content management system, use Plone. This will allow you to configure access restrictions (who can edit what), workflow (the chain of editors marking something as okay), etc.
If you want to build your own content-heavy Web site, such as for a newspaper, use Django.
If you want something with real "hackability", use Pylons. If you use Pylons, consider using either Genshi or Mako with it. I personally prefer Genshi, but it's a matter of taste.
If you hate frameworks, use web.py.
Happy Hacking!
