Hah, Fortville is on the outskirts of Indianapolis, so we have a robust base of developers. Indiana's colleges produce a ton of IT students as well. We do also use remote developers, we are actually looking for a Python developer and a sys admin. Devs can be remote, the sys admin needs to be local. http://www.sixfeetup.com/company/jobs
Also some of the big local companies like to use Python including Angie's List.
Hey guys, thanks for checking out our post on Pyramid. We really do like the flexibility it offers over Django. We are also coming out with a follow up blog post from the IndyPy web shootout next week that will also have the videos of the 4 presentations on Pyramid, Bottle, Django, and Flask. I'll link to it on HN then.
Also if you are interested, make sure you check out the Pyramid app on github (linked from the article, http://www.sixfeetup.com/blog/intro-to-the-python-framework-...) to see step by step how we built the todo app.
At Six Feet Up we love Python and spend most of our time building enterprise & higher ed CMS and intranet solutions along with Pyramid or Sencha apps. We are also really interested in understanding how others are using Python in startups and the enterprise.
