Google App Engine . . . uses python

I don't know much about Google internals, seeing how I don't work for them or personally know any one who does, but I do know they use a lot of python. How do I know? I don't know really... just seems to be common knowledge or something.

This morning I did some brief reading on Google App Engine which sounds really promising, especially for people who have great ideas but don't really have the infrastructure to support them if they grew, or just don't have the knowledge of what infrastructure they would need if it grew.

the best part would be it's all python (for now). and apparently, allows you to use other pure-python frameworks like my favorite django

so why aren't i using it right now? writing new hot code for google app engine? well besides the fact that it's a limited sign up right now, i'm really busy. insert other worthless excuse here. i am on the waiting list though...
