    Prevalent Python/Django academic software

    Is anyone working on any software at present, using django or python
    in general, which serves various academic/course functions, or else
    that of student-instructor arbitration? A popular example which my
    university uses is the "Blackboard Academic Suite" (wpedia:Blackbo ard
    Inc.), which offers a wide range of course functionality (prof
    announcements, forums, content management, grades, file sharing, etc.)

    A preliminary search on Google didn't turn up much. I'm interested in
    developing this sort of application if there aren't any at large, or
    perhaps even if there are. I'm equally interested in looking into
    existing options.

    Thanks,
    dbickett

          I don't understand the question. YES, there are MANY
          Python-based applications doing service in a variety

          of all such programs.
          Sorry if I was unclear. If there are many such applications, very
          good! I hope to use them. Certainly there seems not to be any sort of
          central index, which was why I hoped to hear the opinion of various
          c.l.py users.

          Tobias:
          No, money is not one of my objectives. Neither is paying for software,
          however, which is why I wondered if anyone was currently developing
          any relevant, open-source applications. I had not heard the name
          Moodle, thank you.
