By the way, I've often thought of forming a company that would produce just what we've been talking about here, but with a bit of a twist:
A set of Python environments for doing specialized development. Some ideas are:
--A database app environment, as easy to use as FileMaker, but with a real language at it's core.
--A scientific programming environment, everything that MATLAB gives you, but again, with a real language at the core.
--Maybe a web framework.
--And you'd probably need to do a general purpose IDE as well.
Anyone have any venture capital?
I know that there are open-source versions of all of these: SciPy, Dabo, Pythoncard, Zope, etc., but they don't have the polish that you'd need to attract the type of newbies that are at the core of this thread.

Well I'd certainly like two or three of those and be willing to pay. I agree with your final statement re: current open-source versions. Just wish I had the venture capital for you. You have the right idea. Good luck.
