[socal-piggies] Questions about Python Programmers in SoCal

[Daniel Greenfeld]

Hi Jonathon,

Converting developers to Python and one of the web frameworks (Django
or Pyramid) is not that hard. It does take some time to master the
differences, but your people can get up to speed pretty quickly.

Myself and some other locals (I'm thinking Raymond Hettinger who is
also a Python core developer) do professional training in addition to
our normal jobs. That way your staff would learn how to do things a
bit more quickly.

Hope that helps!
