I wanted to do a little project for learning Python. I thought a chat system will be good as it isn't something that I have ever done.
I wanted to know what will I need? I think that would require me these 1 learn network/socket programming 2 find a free server to host my chat server 3 GUI development for clients -I wanted to know whether these are all that I would need or are there more things? -Will I need to learn a web framework like Django? -Will I need to learn something for database management like sql for handling people's account names and password? Is google appengine good for hosting the website or should I look up at django hosting websites? Any other advice for me(a novice programmer)? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
