Chris, be careful about making assumptions about the business environment in other countries. I have no idea whether the cultural and regulatory issues surrounding running your own business (whether a formal company structure or just a sole trader) is easier or harder in Cameroon compared to Australia, and I'm willing to bet neither are you :-) Richard, to answer your question, what can Python do to help you set up and run a business, that depends. What sort of business do you intend to run? The answer we give will depend on whether you expect your Python skills to be something you can make money from directly (e.g. "hire me, I am an expert Python programmer") or not (e.g. using Python as a tool to make your business more efficient). If your business is in the IT industry, then you can offer Python consulting services, Python programming, web development with Python. You can use Python for developing your own internal tools that you use. If you have a website, you can create it using a large number of Python web frameworks, like Django, Zope, CherryPy, and others. If your business is in some other industry, then Python may be less useful to you. Again, you can use Python to create your website. Other than that, it depends entirely on what your business does. If your business is landscape gardening, then there's probably nothing Python can do to help. If your business is analysing stock prices, then Python may be very, very useful indeed. As a general rule, the closer your business is to IT and computing services, then the more likely it is that you can find ways to use Python to help you. But without knowing more, I can't say anything further. > I would recommend that you primarily code purely for pleasure And such a luxury it is, to have the free time to spend programming just for pleasure :-) -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
