Wow, I thought by the subject this was going to be some endearing story telling about how great Pylons is and why you came to use it as your chosen framework for developing with Python and the web, etc.
Well, if this is a forum for such a thing let me say that I love Pylons and started my venture with the need for a site that authenticated users with LDAP and allowed them to share files. This was for a company which needed separate file shares based on access roles.. I started to make the project public on google code here: http://code.google.com/p/ldapsite/ but never got around to packaging it and only put a few files up because people in #pylons needed examples. I did spend a lot of time on it and was quite satisfied when it was completed, but that was back in September of 2007 so I wouldn't try implementing it in a new pylons environment without looking it over. I was still gaining confidence in my Python abilities at the time (as I always am) and Pylons provided a great spring board for many new experiences. Thanks to all the #pylons regulars like Chairos, YGingras, Signum, etc for answering all types of questions. - Ken On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 6:20 PM, Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 3:07 PM, Shannon -jj Behrens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 7:37 AM, Mikeroz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >> Hey guys, > >> I'm wondering where did you start your journey with Pylons? > > > > Ben Bangert and I decided to meet for dinner in Berkeley.
