Symfony2 or Django?

Question

Django

Please tell me on which framework (I choose between two studios (teams)) to continue developing a service for the selection and calculation of banking and insurance products? Large structure, calculators, filters, etc.

Answer 1

Tool is nothing
Command is everything

Answer 2

Ask your developers, maybe they will answer the question themselves.
Without going into the subtleties, speeds and other cool questions about php vs python, PHP has a big advantage - finding a qualified PHP developer is easier than even a Python junior.

Answer 3

My personal opinion would be to take python as php and symfony2 in particular lead to gagging. But every sandpiper, as you know.
If I were you, I would interview each of the teams and find out why they chose django + python, what are the benefits compared to symfony2 (and vice versa), what related technologies are they going to use, why exactly them, etc. And then I would choose those who can adequately answer these questions. In any case, both tools will allow you to achieve approximately the same result, but the experience and competence of the team decide.

Answer 4

Any big product, over time, will outgrow the level of "outsourcing" of the left studio, into the "staff of developers within the company." On php, finding one specialist and a pack of juniors is easier than finding one junior on python.
The choice should be made precisely from this criterion, evaluation of support and product development, and not development.
I have already seen the throwing of one store. First it was done in php, then in ruby, then in python. Each time a new studio, each time rewriting an already working store from scratch. As a result, he spent the last three years of his life on a python (django). But in order to hire a pythonist, I had to try hard. As a result, they took puffers with retraining and smooth growth.
If the project is on the table (done and forgotten). It doesn't matter here. The main level and experience of the team in the proposed environment.
Z.Y. I myself am a python (django) developer, before that I spent about 8 years on php. And personally, I like python more, and I try to forget and not remember php. But we are talking from the side of the customer, not the contractor.

Answer 5

the choice of symphony 2 is at least rather strange against the background of zend as standard and laravel and yii2, which are now in trend.
well, django is django, actually php solutions are easier to support and easier to change the contractor, since there are an order of magnitude fewer studios working on python.
