Oh me neither, I said 'frustrates' not 'suprises' :-) Perhaps a better comparison would be java servlets running in Tomcat or Resin, a java Web App container. Definitely not widely available for low-end ISP accounts, admittedly has the Sun marketing muscle behind it, but seems more focused. While there are multiple containers (tomcat,resin,jetty,sun-one,etc.), pretty much every app built on them (every?) leverages the java.servlet.* classes and or jsp (built on top of servlets). I guess my point is this lets everyone focus efforts on higher-level frameworks - Struts, Turbine, whatever - extending the base plumbing (classes) when needed, but not inventing the wheel over and over again, which fun as it may be, appears to me to be hindering overall progress of Python on the web and/or mod_python. 31 flavors is great, but when you're wondering "how do I eat ice cream?", 31 choices before starting is a bit intimidating (sorry for the commercial advertisement there). Am I completely off-base here? -- ___________________________ toddgrimason*todd at slack.net
