Re: [BangPypers] User group meeting this weekend
Hi, I'd be interested in coming to Thoughtworks, Koramangala for a meetup on Sunday afternoon. I am a new member here so I'll just add a quick introduction. This is Rahul Jha, I am a developer at Yahoo! for about 2.5 years now. I am also a co-founder for http://step2.co.in and maintain a blog at http://assortedtrails.com. Though I am no expert in Python, I am very interested in the language and have done a couple of projects in it.

I haven't used webfaction, but it seems highly recommended as a shared hosting solution, especially if you're using Django: http://djangohosting.org/. Going by the discussion here http://hn.whyslow.net/item?id=836238, Linode (http://www.linode.com/) seems to be quite popular as well.
