I wonder hat point is not true for other Python based web frameworks.

Please convince Debian Server Admins to enable another web framework on
Debian infrastructure to let this happen.  I personally do not have
specific preferences except that I would like to avoid to learn another
language for no visible *drastic* advantage.  The cruxial point is how
we could make the system running on Debian infrastructure.  It does not
work out easily to ask Debian Server Admins to install any random
preference of a random contributor.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
