Command not found

When asked by a friend to present Python for the web for an university course, I though: “Why don’t present Python inside some Python-powered slides?” and for training purposes I’ve created http://restlides.com/ a django-powered site that allows us to create and share ReSructured Text based presentations, obviously it’s in an very early alpha version, created during a weekend, but it works and I’m afraid I’ll continue developing it, I have in mind many new features. That’s all, try it and of course, any feedback is welcome!

For deployment I’m using apache2 with mod_python and varnish an “state-of-the-art”[1] reverse proxy, very easy to install and configure, you only have to put apache to the back and connect varnish to it, then adjust varnish’s port to 80 in /etc/defaults.

[1] Althought it last release was in December’07, and no activity on its trac, quite dead, I wrote to Poul-Henning Kamp, its developer to get feedback about the situation.

… I asked: “Are there any people working?” … And he replied:

Yes, very much so, but we've not spent enough time on the wiki.
We hope to release version 2.0 in august.
