    To the parent and anyone else who hasn't experienced the wonders of `pip`, check out the article "Tools of the Modern Python Hacker: Virtualenv, Fabric and Pip" [1]. All three of these tools are invaluable for even the most trivial of Python projects, and make developing in Python much more enjoyable.

  3. I definitely see this trend with a web app (game) of mine. Here's some screenshots of Google Analytics that show exactly this behavior: http://www.clemesha.org/blog/You-must-use-Internet-Explorer-...

  5. For what it's worth, here is a (bleeding edge) way to run Django with Twisted: http://clemesha.org/blog/2009/apr/23/Django-on-Twisted-using... . Full working example code is linked from the article. With this you get the benefit of being self-contained and you get Django with all it's joys plus Twisted for your long-polling, etc.

  7. Cool, hopefully will make it. (btw, did anyone else from San Diego attend the YC 'Work at a Startup'? I went: http://clemesha.org/blog/2010/jun/22/my-experience-at-ycombi... and would love to talk more about experiences, etc. It was a very cool event.)
