...to sell their homes for themselves. We thought this was a great business idea but as a start up we were looking for ways to keep costs down while we developed our business model and website functionality. Naturally, we turned to the Open Source community for help running all of our development on inexpensive Dell laptops with RedHat Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP and Python software. Challenged to produce a system quickly and at a low cost we turned to Python to develop and test features and function...

As a result, we are not going to be able to meet our set d...
