Python on Rails?

I just saw a post on Slashdot about Subway. It was a comment, not a complete story... however it sounds interesting. From the Subway web page:

The Subway project aims to create a Web development stack combining the ideas and spirit of Ruby on Rails with a comprehensive suite of prewritten Python web libraries and tools.

So, do you know Python but just been itching to play with Rails? Looks like you have an easy way to get started! Check out Subway and let the rest of us know what you think.

Another Rails hint

You may recall my post from a few days about about configuring Rails on Windows. Well, three other people I know ran into a second problem. It's trivial once it's solved but it can be quite frustrating.

In a nutshell, add the following line to your database.yml
port: 3306

if you run into this error:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. - connect(2)

Sri goes into a great more detail (but I've included enough detail that you can find the post on Google. ;)

Check out Sri's post here.
