It's sometimes an option to simply use an app already available (e.g. Wordpress for blogging) rather than to go out and build a custom one. If building and deploying (and maintaining) a Django or Flask (or rails for that matter) blogging app takes 6 hours whereas setting up a wordpress blog takes 5 minutes, what would you chose? In the ideal world, all apps would be super awesome and written in our favourite languages. In the *real* world, good solutions exist in multiple languages and not using them based just because they're not in ones favourite language is language fanaticism and it's a bad thing. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in I can resist everything except temptation. -Oscar Wilde _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
