Lonely Lion

Guido followed up.

It’s great to see this sort of thing happening. Although there’s a vibrant not-web community surrounding Python, my bread and butter is web, so any effort on Guido’s part to push the direction of Python on the web is a +1 in my book.

It’s also interesting to see him full on support WSGI. I admit to being way behind the curve on a) really “getting” WSGI and b) using WSGI, despite the fact that paster seems to be doing a good amount of heavy lifting. Stuff I’ve seen Ian doing has been really interesting, and clearly points to a possible future in which the Python driven web is pretty slick.

In the meantime, I’ve spent a good amount of time with Rails, working on Tastebud and have been really satisfied with the results. I’m excited to start picking apart UF and adapting it to Pylons I still haven’t thrown a solid Django app just yet. At this point, I don’t have anything in mind. I am committed to building something outward facing with Django sooner than later. We shall see.

On a unrelated note, I opened an account at Textdrive over the weekend. I plan on moving Tastebud and Lonely Lion there in the next couple of days. I recently downgraded my Speakeasy account, and keep stressing out my connection.
