Thanks. :-) There's actually a whole archive of posts (linked on the right) that detail my thinking at various points in the venture; I haven't seen it mentioned here, so I dunno if people don't know about it or haven't gotten around to reading anything but the postmortem or just aren't interested. Some of them may be helpful to folks though; there's a bunch on quitting the day job from July 07 and a lot of Pylons/Django comparisons in Dec 07.

I'm going on vacation in about 10 minutes, so I'm not going to see the rest of the discussion. If folks find other articles on the blog interesting, feel free to submit them; I have more than enough karma already.

Seems like all of the work you did you might want to open source or look for buyers for it. It seems like you made it pretty far.
