Does this wrap up truly everything your app needs as Malcom was asking or just your own app created code + dabo code? From a support standpoint, I know as a developer, I do not want to support or even try to troubleshoot problems users experience with a Dabo app if it turns out they have the wrong version of support modules like python installed, ie older versions, or newer versions which may have broke compatibility. I have enough trouble finding bugs in my own code, never mind, some bug that is possibly bubbling up from 3 layers of underlying libraries, thus knowing your user is using the exact version of the library you debugged your code in is essential imo. Many would say, well, it's the user responsibility to have the correct versions installed.. Putting that responsibility on the end user while fine from the developers point of view, is not at all realistic, unless you're dealing with highly tech-savy users. Thus, many developers, like myself, do everything and anything we can to guarantee all components are the correct version from the moment the app is installed. Despite all the great things I've seen so far from Dabo, my main worry it as well as other open source apps/frameworks is that they may not have a robust way to guarantee this kind of reliability. So I'm very curious to get some perspective from Ed and others with experience in this area.
