Re: Javascript frameworks with Django

I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but let me provide
an answer and maybe that'll get us started on the right track.

For the dynamic parts of the application, you could absolutely use
django and view methods/classes to return json/xml or whatever data
format you use. The data can then be rendered by your front-end JS
code. You probably won't need the django templates unless you're
formatting data a certain way.

Your static code (you mean static media like javascript, css, and
images, right?) should ultimately be served by a different server,
specifically set up for static content (see the django docs... they
mention this). To implement the static URL, use either the
'staticfiles' app for django 1.2.x or use the built in static files
for django 1.3.
