  I have been a web programmer for 16 years. I am investigating wordpress.
  At this time, I do not fully understand the distinction between wordpress and wordpress.com.
  I have many resources in python. Is there a way to use python modules with wordpress?
  1)No need to be gentle. I am prepared to hear no, but I hope I am not judged poorly for asking.
  2)If there are other discussions on this topic, links to such are welcomed.

  Thank you. I believe that the answer is no for wordpress.com
  and maybe for wordpress.org. XML-RPC being the operant keyword.

  XML-RPC being the operant keyword

  Hello again,
  In the Support Docs for XML-RPC, this is what I found:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/ This relates to blogs hosted on WordPress.com and here XML-RPC is active on all blogs by default, with no means of turning it off. Hope this helps.

  Thanks for that. I believe it is helpful.
  I think what I need to do is :
  1)Get a bit acquainted with WordPress and make a little blog.
  then
  2)Try posting to it with a python module.
  regards
  tim
