Hi Hacker News,<p>Background: I am a Computer Science student from Costa Rica interested in Python and startups. I am by no means a genius of programming or logic or management, but I love programming and I would like to create something. Given my circumstances I can only study a little because most of my time is spent in my job. I am also a CCNA, but that does not matter to my question. In my college I have studied Java, .NET and Oracle as far as languages, but I am interested in open source technologies too.<p>Question: this could be dumb because I am starting to learn Python, but I would like to know of examples of a website deployed in Python, if that exists. I mean, I know people use Python and Ruby to enable websites like Twitter and many others, but for me it is difficult to see those programming languages in action. I would like to use Python to do something for a website, but I can't think of anything as it is difficult for me to see an example of the way it is used in a website.<p>Sorry for my ignorance,<p>dperezc<p>It is important to note that in my country and culture the technologies that rule are the ones I study: Oracle, .NET, Fox and Visual Basic. So it is uncommon to find people interested in other things. We are taught to be mainly users of applications, not creators (humble opinion).
Have you gone through the Django tutorial?<p>There's a lot of existing code that may inspire you, like:
