heh - I didn't think about that til you mentioned it. Yes, but during the 2002-2007 time frame, I was aware of what was at the "front of the parade" for python. Nothing really stood out til Rails. If I knew Aaron Swartz, things might have been different.

Oh yeah, this reminded me of another painful thing back then. It was so difficult to find documented, clean MySQL bindings for python. Every experience there was terrible.

Learning Plone was a requirement for an internship I was considering in 2006, fwiw.

You have my sympathies.
