Well, my own (limited) experience suggests that most 'enterprise' clients have some proper IT guys who would know what they are doing and have already made a few strategic commitments, which, if they do not include Python, then you are flogging a dead horse (I mean snake!). I do not see any benefit for web2py to particularly target those guys, they are just too entrenched.
The big growth in new users will come from small 'agile' firms, non- profits and web start-ups. Why not target that 'real' market with something attractive to them instead of going after the people who have already made their choices. On Mar 15, 1:53 am, "G.
