Mongrel2 Says, "Goodbye Python"
I understand what Zed's saying here - particularly as I came to programming from a sys admin background.<p>Just like Perl before it, Python (and to some extent, Ruby if you use Puppet) are part of the OS (Linux OS or OS X that is).<p><i></i><i>Shit can and will break if you mess with your OS. </i><i></i><p>You never got this with PHP because people didn't use it in their OSs.<p>But there's a simple solution: not only does the Ministry of Packaging want you to use virtualenv, your OS maker does too.<p>The faster pip and virtualenv become standard the better.
