All, This may be a link of interest to the list. The site "Fuzzy Notepad" recently wrote an article absolutely, absolutely slating PHP [*]. So the question was asked: "I only know PHP. How do I write a Web application in Python? "This is a deeply complex question. I could easily fill a book on

Question - sound files and Django.

2009-05-12 Thread Peter Murphy
All, I have a question for the list. I am thinking about making a small website for a friend - a singer/songwriter - that will allow him to embed soundfiles for download and/or streaming by others. I'd like to provide a nice "admin" interface for him so that he can upload his mp3s (or similar)
