This library is intended to make the transition to Django from PHP Frameworks such as code ignitor and the Zend Framework a bit more seamless. Django is one of the popular Python frameworks, but I've found that teaching newcomers how to use it has been slightly confusing, due to Django's very flexible approach for handling URLs to views. Some people simply want Django to take care of the URL abstraction for them, so that it means one less thing to learn before making the switch over.
