They need to use JS to a certain degree, but nobody wants to make a career out of plug-in writing, etc. (I certainly don't!) It wouldn't surprise me that there are lots of Python programmers who do JS maybe 5% of the time, and many of those folks can't justify the effort to go a bit deeper on the learning curve, create more of a community, etc. I guess I'm not helping you much other than to commiserate, but can I ask you to what extent you've looked into existing Python web frameworks, to see how much code there is out there that you could mine for your projects? I stumbled on some pretty high quality Python code a few weeks ago that amounted to Javascript helpers, but now I can't find it for the life of me. But it's out there... ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40? Find a flick in no time with the Yahoo!
