It's free to call US and Canada from anywhere in the world. It just uses your data.
This is a nice python library for controlling a Sonos speaker.

Sweet! This is just what I was looking for to command my Sonos speaker to play some music.
You don't actually need to build an features yet. Create a pricing page, list out a simple set of features, put a buy button and see how many people click on it. Test with a different set of features and different price points.
Next step, charge money for something and see what happens.
Re:Pecan a lean Python web framework on Thursday January 09, 2014 @03:43PM (#7033079)
Pecan is definitely not as light weight as flask. Creating a simple hello world requires multiple files and multiple classes. Flask is super light weight in that regard. Which is why I use flask for quick hacking on personal projects.

Pecan on the other hand has a lot of great features built in, such as ORM, built in templates, etc. Pecan is a popular choice over flask for large scale projects.

Solum is still in the design phase. Read more about it's vision and development model here. http://www.rackspace.com/blog/solum-open-development-from-da...

This is infact a great opportunity for developers, like you, to get involved right from the start.
