Home-use smart router is more and more popular.
If <Python Software Foundation> embeds Python into such router, and
develops a framework that has the following features:
1, allow power-down at any time
2, dynamic domain name
3, local storage support (SD cards or Hard Disk)
4, telnet server
etc.
Then we can create micro private server on it.
Still can't see the full prospect, but it may be a great platform for
people's imagination.
I think Python is very suitable for such role.
Have you met the Raspberry Pi?
Seriously, since many such "smart routers" are Linux boxes, there's a good
chance there is already a Python interpreter installed and your list of
other demands is already met. It's certainly the case in the boxes I work
on, and we do use Python for bits of system scripting. We *don't* use
Python for application writing because speed and space constraints are
usually quite tight, which generally means coding in C for preference
(despite my boss's attempts to force me to use C++).
