As a Java developer/manager who's fed up with the complexity/productivity ratio of J2EE-based apps, I've been dabbling in Python for some time now on OSX. I really want to push a lot of Python-based software into my company. We're implementing Plone for a lot of our workflow needs for routing and publishing of docs.

I use Python daily for quick, one-off apps that talk to our production systems, but some of our legacy applications could do with an overhaul. We do a lot of connectivity with other businesses, and I think the Twisted framework is a godsend for network apps like we do.

As a matter of fact, I'm actually thinking of porting a good amount of the JTOpen library to one based on Twisted so I can access our production IBM iSeries boxes directly from Python and not have to use Jython. Any one else interested in such a thing as that? Drop me a line - keith@veleba.net
