I've not har a chance (compelling reason to buck infrastructure?) to use
Python during a day job, but I've done a fair bit with it outside of my day
job(s).

I've looked at Django, of course, but never really came to grips with the
way the Django dev team must see the world. (The way you seem to be
building a site of app modules vs an app... )

I'll have to check out the latest Python 3.x version of Quixote.

I might even have a chance to use it during the day soon :)
