But to add a specific comment on this topic: Armin was indeed a very creative and prolific developer of Python libraries and frameworks, and since he's mostly left the Python world this has been an issue indeed. Some of his projects, like Lektor (which I'm using for my blog) have lost their traction and some of their users are moving to other tools. But the good news is that some of his projects have been picked up by other contributors, as the "Pallets" project, and, as a coincidence, they have made major new releases of most of Armin's old projects just a couple of days ago: https://www.palletsprojects.com/blog/flask-2-0-released/ S. > -- Stefane Fermigier - http://fermigier.com/ - http://twitter.com/sfermigier - http://linkedin.com/in/sfermigier Founder & CEO, Abilian - Enterprise Social Software - http://www.abilian.com/ Chairman, National Council for Free & Open Source Software (CNLL) - http://cnll.fr/ Founder & Organiser, PyParis & PyData Paris - http://pyparis.org/ & http://pydata.fr/
