You are really into this free work for paid products thing. I should think of such a scheme for me. But some free tidbits. | | 1) What -existing- examples of the use of Python to create social | web applications are there? These include chat, collaboration, | forum boards, and editable content pages, RSS feeds. | | I know I use a lot of these, but under pressure I'm not coming | up with a lot of names. You should have listed them so we could try to think of others. | Can you throw a few my way? Bittorrent !-) Jabbar, Roundup | 2) How easy is it to install an application written in the language? Generally as easy as other applications on the same platform | How is the application deployed? Same way as other apps on the same platform, (on Windows, .msi, .zip, .exe, etc) plus some Python specific methods. | | I'm having some trouble understanding the difference between | "deployment" and "installation". I suspect those words may | have a special meaning to Java developers (who designed the survey) | or to Big Corporate IT developers. Ideas? | | I can tell the story of distutils, python eggs and PyPI, and py2exe | and py2mumble for the Mac -- is there more to the story than that? | | 3) What is the value of the language to developers? Makes programming fun. Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
