Well, I actually had considered contributing some of this to Django.
But I changed the development paradigm too much.  It's completely
different and I don't think they would like or take the changes anyway.

And I got really tired of having to hard-code URL references and then
watch them break. 

Here's some sample code in this framework:

def reports(request, report):
  resp = core.ResponseDocument(request, title="pyNMS Selftest reports.")
  resp.content.new_para(str(report))
  resp.content.add_image(src=request.get_url("graphs.testplot"),
      alt="testplot") 
  return resp.finalize()

And that, really, is all there is to producing a valid XHTML page
with a graph in it. If the plot producer handler mapping ever changes
this code will still work.


In any case, what i did comes primarily from my experience with Django
and evolution is a natural process. ;-) BTW, I still like and use
Django ORM component.
