    <p>I have an unusual problem: I have to convince my superiors to use Django for our new project. Alternative is some PHP framework. I've programmed in PHP for 2 years and then switched to Python and have about 3 years of experience in it. However I'm not too good in business speech. </p> <p>I know all the technical pros and cons but when it comes to discussing business issues things blur a bit.</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Reasons I want to use Python + Django:</p> <ul> <li>experience in Django</li> <li>beauty of pythonic code (and all it's benefits)</li> <li>lots of third party libraries</li> <li>efficiency</li> <li>less code = less bugs</li> </ul> <p>Reasons why my new boss wants to use PHP:</p> <ul> <li>he knows it</li> <li>he can estimate on his own</li> <li>he doesn't know Python</li> </ul> <p>@Vinko Vrsalovic: All requirements for both technologies are met.</p> <ul> <li>we have both our own servers and external Python hosting</li> <li>PHP costs of course less, however the difference is really tiny in comparison to support cost</li> <li>we have suitable resources for both PHP and Python projects</li> </ul> <p>I think problem is with my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_manager" rel="noreferrer">PM</a>: he is afraid of new technologies. For him it's something new. So quoting the basic question from Robertos answer "why can't we just use the old system?".</p> <p>I think I'm just too old :D to write a prototype in my free time. However this had worked a few times in past.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
