Guys i would like to use Django as my backend framework and qooxdoo as the frontend framework.
Is it practical to do this?
Has anyone tried to do this?
How did they do it?
Links and pointers would nice.

I have no direct experience using Django and qooxdoo, but the general answer to the question "Is it practical?" is: yes :). Although Django's default rendering behaviour is to produce HTML (which is unsuitable for a single page application like the ones you build with qooxdoo), it's easy to switch to returning e.g. Json on requests, which is a common format for the client-server communication between a qooxdoo frontend and a server. They just exchange data.
Has anyone tried to do this? - Yes, but they don't give much information on how, other than the before mentioned Json data exchange, implementing a Json RPC server in Django using RPC4Django.
AFAIK, there is no deeper Django integration, e.g. interfacing qooxdoo with Django views on the server (like dojango).
Hope this helps.
