Iceberg syndrome
So let’s get this straight, to use pylons competently I need a working knowledge of:
- setuptools
- virtualenv
- paster
- sqlalchemy
- mako
- javascript
- python eggs
- beaker
- routes
and if I want to work on docs, I need to know these things plus
- sphinx
I’m happy to learn all of these things, but I really thought I was in for less than I am. This kind of reminds me of Java, where everything you know is a further development of five things you don’t know. 
Techies: DO NOT FALL BEHIND.
Wow Tim, I didn’t know that you could “speak in tongues”
I guess I fell behind… I don’t know what ANY of those things are.

You need virtualenv to do anything fun in python.

I don’t know, Darrin. I had a lot of fun without it. But I understand that it makes deployment a bit less of a crapshoot. I’m getting there.
