Ep.io - Smart Python Hosting

I put my email in at least a month ago and have never heard anything, so I'm skeptical they're adding beta users very fast if at all.

There's an awful lot of python hosting startups now, and I suspect the small, slow-moving ones are going to get steamrolled by dotcloud and the like. Djangy already threw in the towel, and that's starting to seem pretty smart.

ep.io has been posted to HN before http://searchyc.com/submissions/ep.io

Is there anything new here? It looks like it's still in beta...

Unfortunately still in private beta, but is this what Python delvelopers need to compete with Heroku?
