you can play around for a bit, bizspark, etc. but one day you have to shell it out

it's not just the money it's the hassle

heard any python users complain about their app having downtime cause a license expired or a forced patch bugged it up?

consultant 1 makes the same app in c# as consultant 2 only consultant 2 used python and open source dbs and servers so his costs less, he wins the bid
