Summary     : A high-level Python Web framework

Update Information:

http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2009/oct/09/security/      Description of
vulnerability  ============================  Django's forms library included
field types which perform regular-expression-based validation of email addresses
and URLs. Certain addresses/URLs could trigger a pathological performance case
in this regular expression, resulting in the server process/thread becoming
unresponsive, and consuming excessive CPU over an extended period of time. If
deliberately triggered, this could result in an effective denial-of-service
attack.
