Python for Webscripting (like PHP)

[Jeff Reavis]

You might want to check out spyce. It uses a server page model (like
jsp and php) so you can embed python in html. It has the standard stuff
you would need for making a web site (session support, etc) and also
contains features like custom tags.

And then there's some in the Bay Area who wouldn't mind telecommuting,
either ...

We do a *lot* of telecommuting. I'm working from home today, for
example, because I needed to deal with the plumber. And we have two
people in Seattle out of seven fulltime people. However, it's our
experience that people are more productive when they show up at the
office regularly -- the two Seattle people had lots of experience with
our product before they worked independently, and the two of them do
share an office.

(They work across the street from Elliott Bay Books, the bastards.)

I'd love Python work, just like everyone else here. On a related topic,
what's the >policy/etiquette of posting a resume on here, or mentioning
what kind of work >you're looking for?

I would take absence of such postings, even though you can imagine *lots*
of people have had the same idea, as an indication that it is against
policy/etiquette. If 1 person does it, we could easily have 10 or 100 a
day ;-).

And what's the policy in general for most newsgroups and mailing lists?

For mainline newsgroups, such as the comp.*, commercial annoucements are
generally counter-indicated unless the name (.marketplace) or charter say
otherwise. Exceptions would be a low volume of things of direct and narrow
interest. So I consider the rare job announcements posted here ok. The
same for book announcements. In either case, such are positive news for
what is still a minority, just becoming mainstream, language.

(Python has even been told to be used by Yahoo! and Google, among others,
but nobody was able to demonstrate this, so far)

I don't see anything about Python at that url. I've heard Gmail is
written in Java. Google is well known to use Python for many internal
purposes, and perhaps for some low traffic administrative web pages.
The main search application is written in C++ and is enormous.
I haven't heard that any high traffic pages are handled in Python.

I don't see anything about Python at that url.

Don't look at the page the URL returns - look at the URL itself. ;-)
