A software example

The web2py web framework [j.mp/webtopy] is a lightweight Python framework that embraces the MVC pattern. If you have never tried web2py, I encourage you to do it since it is extremely simple to install. All I had to do was download a package and execute a single Python file (web2py.py). There are many examples that demonstrate how MVC can be used in web2py on the project's web page [j.mp/web2pyex].

Django is also an MVC framework, although it uses different naming conventions. The controller is called view, and the view is called template. Django uses the name Model-Template-View (MTV). According to the designers of Django, the view describes what data is seen by the user, and therefore, it uses the name view as the Python callback function for a particular URL. The term Template in Django is used to separate content from representation. It describes how the data is seen by the user, not which data is seen [j.mp/djangomtv].
