ANN: Coil 0.2 - an MVC framework

[Jeff Simpson]

Coil is an MVC framework for the Python programming language. Coil is
based largely on the ideas and design of Struts. Coil allows you to
cleanly separate the model, view and controller via an XML configuration
file.

Coil is currently alpha quality, but usable. There is a very basic login
example in the source tarball demonstrating the basic work flow.  I am
currently building an mp3 server to use as a better demo.

For more information please visit the SourceForge site,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/coil/
