I have been a software developer since the 70's. I have used most of
the major languages. I used FoxPro for the last 20 years and have
recently moved to Python. I absolutely love working with Python!
Everything works, deployment is easy, and with all of the libraries
available; there isn't much you can't do. I now develop on Ubuntu even
though my customers (and deployment) are Windows.
Check out Webfaction for a hosting company. They are probably the
largest Django host, but using their control panel to do things is very
easy! I have been using them for over two years.
