Interesting that your experience swung that way. I worked on a contract about a year ago where it involved deploying web services & ZigBee communications on a Digi Connectport[1] which is certainly a rather underpowered device (20MB of memory is tight). My biggest issue was the project-lead's choice of CherryPy and SQLObject...neither has nearly the same quality of documentation as I'd grown accustomed to in the Django world. Yet I was able to run an HTTPS CherryPy server talking to a local sqlite database with minimal trouble, handling a modest (i.e., small business) load. -tkc [1] http://www.digi.com/products/wireless-routers-gateways/gateways/xbee-gateway#specs -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
