That is the main issue when you work only in VFP like we do. Like a lot of other people on this list, we are looking for

the best way to get into Python. It would be great to have the entire application written in a language that could be on

one computer or on a network or 'in the cloud'. Also we could write our web server applications in python instead of

asp, php and perl (hate perl). We could have our app on Windows, Mac and Linux. It will happen for many of us foxers in

the next 5-10 years. The question is how to do it. I would hope that we could stick together and have a list like this

one. I am on the dabo list, but since I don't program in python, I don't follow it very well. I appreciate reading

comments from other people who are thinking about moving toward python.

Yeah, and remember when other services sprang up and forced costs down?

One of the goals of OpenStack is to make the cloud a commodity. Everyone has access to the same infrastructure code, so

you won't get into that "sole supplier" situation like you describe.
