You have me sold, please give me the heads up when you're done. I've been looking for this for a long time.

Yes. Please post it on HN when its ready for some testing.

Funny, I thought the same thing but with JavaScript instead.

njl,

I hear people asking for a Django-equivalent of Heroku. You definitely have a market for this.

What were there opinions of AppEngine? (the closest thing there is currently)

AppEngine supports Django but just partially. You cannot use the ORM & also very few Django apps/plugins would work.

In a discussion at PyOhio this past weekend, a lot of people were mentioning how they wanted a Heroku-like service for Python.

Is PiCloud unattractive compared to Heroku?

(I'm one of the PiCloud devs)

PiCloud (http://www.picloud.com) is not a web hosting service. Rather, it is a highly scalable compute service.

(In other words, you can't host a website on PiCloud. But your site can run all of its background tasks on PiCloud).
