I use Flask (Werkzeug), Jinja 2 and have used Pygments. Plenty of people use Sphinx. I have to say, Pocoo has made a lot of great software. I am thankful.

Anything to do with Pocoo?

I think his point is that this is just a link to a software company, with no news for hackers. HackerNews. QED.

How is this not for hackers?

Pocoo have created an impressive "ecosystem" of reusable open source libraries and applications, which mostly are mature and well documented. As far as I know they are not a software company but "people from the Python community that are working under one umbrella", as stated on the page.

Google is mostly just "free as in beer".

I think the most interesting aspect of Pocoo is the documentation and general code quality. Flask is definitely a large inspiration when documenting something.

Also, I don't quite get the Op's point in "just" posting a link (although to fresh version of Pocoo's website).

One note though. "The Pocoo Team is an international group of enthusiasts from the Python community working on open source Python software without commercial interest and for the benefit of others." is exactly why the web (and life, btw) is awesome. I want the pre-ad web back.

Use Firefox with Adblock Plus and you won't see any ads anymore. Everytime I'm behind my MacMini with Safari, which happens from time to time, I am amazed at the quantity of ads that are shoved before my eyeballs. Compared to that, Firefox+Adblock is an oasis of quietness.

What about it?

What do they do commercially? Do they take in contract work? Or do they create products with all these OSS libraries?

Just curious.

Yes, the Pocoo guys are awesome.

And they say that ruby guys are annoying posting stuff here
