Were is a great place to Share your finished projects?

[Brendan Abel]

A lot of these arguments and points have already been made and hashed out
on the python-dev list.  There's a very good article that one of the python
core developers wrote about the decision to move to github

http://www.snarky.ca/the-history-behind-the-decision-to-move-python-to-github

Basically, maintaining an open source git server, bug tracker, etc. would
have cost time and money, and historically very few people were willing to
contribute those, especially the people who were the most opinionated on
the desire to remain "pure to open source".  Github gives all these things
away for free.  And pretty much every python developer has already used
github for other projects.  In the article he makes a good point that if
you're that worried about always using open-source, then you shouldn't be
using gmail, or twitter, or even automobiles, since they all use software
that is closed-source.  At some point, paying for software just makes sense.
