With Google's employment of Python and Django as a first class citizen in its a AppEngine infrastructure. The Python community is much more mature than the Ruby community. Having eschewed monkey patching rather than exhibiting a constant fascination of 'open classes'. This development has the potential of trusting Python into the limelight.

I'm a Ruby programmer, but I think its valid to ask what impact Google throwing its weight behind Django and what this means for the web application market?

Nothing yet, and I imagine they'll have Rails support soon enough. I suspect it will mean more for the Python web app market than anything else.

It would be good. It'd be tough to sell to non programmer clients to bet against a google blessed framework/language. Especially since django seems pretty good. I haven't had a chance to go through the docs closely yet, but I also wonder if Rails lack of thread safety will be an issue
Tantalus replied ago:
Yes, once Django hits 1.0 and with Google's blessing, all clients can take it seriously. Of course once they find out the Django you get with Google isn't quite the same as the Django you use locally... I doubt thread safety matters to them -- they are in the business of quick web requests and responses. The Python version you get on AppEngine has all threading stuff disabled.
