Anything that can make django/python-based webapps easier to deploy is interesting. That's been the huge thing for all my PHP-friends; the ease of deployment. Now if we had something similar for django/python ... it would rock! :-) Used java for some years and war-files worked ok as well.
And isn't this a trend nowadays; mac having their DMG-files and discussions in the linux community about making packages distro independant by compiling libs, binaries, resources etc into one executable archive? BTW; could you post the link to showing how the facebook guys are doing this? Haven't seen it.
