Using Python after a few years of Ruby

Hi,

If you're going to run the python source code, you don't need anything.
Python builds what it needs automagically. Some tools exist to build
stand-alone executables though, if you'd like to do so (e.g. py2exe, 
http://www.py2exe.org)

> 3) Web frameworks
I quite like the powerful and very intuitive and easy to use web2py 
(http://www.web2py.com).

(not to be confused with the minimalist web framework web.py, 
http://webpy.org).

Best regards,
Stefaan.
