To find (free) business software written in Python, search at https://pypi.python.org/pypi sourceforge.net or you favorite search engine.

'Fledge' has the same root as 'fly' and it means 'develop the feathers needed to fly' (for a young bird). So a full-fledged computer science course would be one that teaches you all the skills you need to 'fly' on your own. -- Terry Jan Reedy
