Implementing best practices from python

[eluser]Keyur Shah[/eluser]
Hello,

It seems anytime there's a discussion of codeigniter on reddit or other programming forums, it usually sways to how much better python / django is then codeigniter.

I've built a great custom shopping cart in codeigniter and am fairly happy with everything. I incorporated Jamie and Phil's My_Model architecture with some tweaks and it works great to make queries with the db.

I would like to know, what is happening in the python world that is so great that I am completely missing out on by using php? Are there any things that I can modify to my implementation of CI that would allow to better utilize some of these things, i.e. modules, addons, code changes?


Thanks!

Modules: HMVC - see the Ignited Code Forums.
Modules should be in CodeIgniter in a future version.
