I'm starting to develop a facebook application using Django.

I'm trying to choose the appropriate API wrapper for my application and I can't decide whether to use PyFacebook (very well documented but no official release) or the official Facebook Python SDK (which is surprisingly poorly documented).

Are there any major differences between the two that I'm missing?

Thank you, Liz

I believe PyFacebook was made for the old Facebook API (used to be the way to go) while the Facebook Platform Python SDK is a new official library from facebook and is aimed towards the new Graph API

So I suggest you start using the latter. And yeah the documentation totally sucks in both cases, took me a while to figure it out.

Hmm...So maybe this is the reason why PyFacebook wasn't updated in the last few months. :)

It's a guess, I'm not sure, It also seems like the new official library is very much a work in progress, but i'd stick to it.

Does anyone have a working example of the python-sdk with django? The source code examples lend themselves to Google's appengine, but not django per se.

This should probably be its own question.
