[BangPypers] Death of Aaron Swartz

[Sreenivas Reddy T]

I didn't know him before. I just came to know about him after his death.


The other day, i gone through  web.py code, i have felt like this is just
simple..just bare metal compared to django.

I felt like people should first learn web.py before moving to django.

There is a considerable learning curve involved for django.
