Sure, pip is easy enough, but you have to know about pip, DDT and set up a requirements.txt file if you want to share it with anyone else. There are LOTS of handy third-party Django tools, but you need to know about them. That's the pa

DDT is great tool. This is one of those things that should be much easier to install into a standard Django install, IMHO. It might not be a battery to include, but it should be a battery that is really, really easy to install.

My guess is one of the project's goals it to reach programming. If that is the case, Python is a great language. If the goal was simply to make fighting robots, something more agnostic would be cool. That said, the system enforces a 30

I would recommend using 1.6 and South for now. 1.7 is at least nine months away, and who knows where the API will go in that time. You're probably better off developing a stable version of your project using 1.6/South, and then re

They're aiming for a market that is willing to pay $300 to $600 for a iPad, and a free word processor sweetens the deal a bit. The fact that you can access your docs on your mac or in browser (also for free) is nice sweetener, too.

No, I think the puck is already at two of the three platforms they targeted with the new release: web and desktop. I think mobile/tablets isn't there yet, but that is changing, too. Microsoft isn't getting much traction yet,

I agree: the talking head against a white background is overdone. That said, I've always thought this is a product/project opportunity: the reason most startups rely on talking head videos is because anything else gets more costly
