Obviously not. Before YouTube was bought by Google, it was common knowledge that it ran on Stackless Python. So a streaming media server on Python is absolutely possible. But no, I don't know of one you can set up and use on your own. You can make a highly scalable server with PyZMQ and Tornado or Twisted. NumPy is great for storing binary data like media streams. HDF5 (PyTables or h5py) might be a better database than some SQL server, as it is capable of highly scalable parallel binary i/o. Sturla -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
