Notes"Conque is a Vim plugin allowing users to execute and interact with programs, typically a shell such as bash, inside a buffer window. The goal is always to keep the terminal behaviour as close as possible to its native interface, while adding the additional features of Vim on top. "Unfurl
Notes"This is exactly the kind of cross-cutting concern (note the use of a signal publisher for notification!) that would be better handled with a signal from the microblogging app. Perhaps the app could have published âtweet receivedâ as a signal, with an optional âmodule for common associated applicationsâ dispatching that event to logging, activity streams, notifications or whatever as available. The presence of explicit publication would have signaled to any developer to look for subscribers, so I donât think this is a dangerous case of unlabeled subroutines and the potential for spaghetti code that goes with it. Most Django apps are small silos of code; it would not have been onerous to separate out and isolate this cross-cutting concern from the rest of the microblogging applicationâs functionality."Unfurl
Notes"Bottle is a fast, simple and lightweight WSGI micro web-framework for Python. It is distributed as a single file module and has no dependencies other than the Python Standard Library."Unfurl
Notes"A template extension system for marking points in your django templates as 'plugin-points', and providing plugins which inject themselves at those points. Multiple applications can be injected at each plugin point, and 'registered' plugin-points can have the visibility, order and access of the plugins controlled via DB models. This control can be done on a site wide or per-user basis. Thus you can allow users to add, remove, and reorder the plugins on their profile page for instance."FeedUnfurl

Notes"Here at Sourcefabric we have been looking in to what software stack to use for our next web products. This discussion used to be (oh, 5-10 years ago) a lot simpler, mainly involving choosing an operating systems, a language, and a database. But now itâs about higher-level things like out-of-the-box support for commenting, activity streams, ajax, cloud storage, deployment tools, scalability, geolocation, tagging, RESTful interfaces, search, twitter, facebook, and a whole lot more. Users and customers are starting to expect all of this built into any web application you build. Building applications these days is largely about integrating a large number of existing technologies instead of building something from scratch."Unfurl
Notes"Freshen is an acceptance testing framework for Python, inspired by Cucumber and has the same goal: make BDD fun, but using Python instead of Ruby. Freshen uses the same syntax of Cucumber (Gherkin Syntax) and runs as a plugin of Nose, a powerful Python tool for using daily when you with TDD"Unfurl

Notes"uWSGI is a fast (pure C), self-healing, developer-friendly WSGI server, aimed for professional python webapps deployment and development. Over time it has evolved in a complete stack for networked/clustered python applications, implementing message/object passing and process management. It uses the uwsgi (all lowercase) protocol for all the networking/interprocess communications. From the 0.9.5 release it includes a plugin loading technology that can be used to add support for other languages or platform. A Lua wsapi adaptor, a PSGI handler and an Erlang message exchanger are already available. "Unfurl
Notes"Ren'Py is a free and cross-platform visual novel engine that helps you use words, pictures, and sounds to tell stories with the computer. Its easy and efficient script language makes it possible for non-programmers to make visual novels, while its Python support allows for complex simulation games."FeedUnfurl
Notes"At Cloudkick we track a ton of metrics about our customer's servers and it's quite a challenge to store such massive amounts of data. Early on, we made the decision to avoid using tools like RRDTool, so we could provide a more holistic look at infrastructure. We had two firm requirements: we wanted to show trends on a macro-level and to have very low latency so our users would never wait for graphs to build. We initially used PostgreSQL, but as we added billions of rows, the performance quickly degraded. We used cron jobs that would roll up the data on intervals to trade storage for throughput and lower latency. With clever partitioning, we were able to stretch the system to a certain point, but beyond that we faced issues of needing a much bigger machine and faster rotational disks to accommodate our business requirements; that's when started looking at other solutions."Unfurl

Notes"I've written a command-line tool for migrating journal entries from any LJ-style server to any other LJ-style server. This tool needs testers. It should run on any system with a recent Python installed. That means OS X out of the box, most Linux distros, and any Windows system where the user has installed python."Unfurl

Notes"Impressive is a program that displays presentation slides. But unlike OpenOffice.org Impress or other similar applications, it does so with style. Smooth alpha-blended slide transitions are provided for the sake of eye candy, but in addition to this, Impressive offers some unique tools that are really useful for presentations. "Unfurl
Notes"EvServer is a lightweight http server, created especially to host python WSGI applications. Additionally, it supports little known Asynchronous WSGI extension, which was suggested by Christopher Stawarz. Using this extension it's possible to create an output html response in many data chunks, without blocking the main server process while your application waits for external resources. "Unfurl

Notes"Paver is a Python-based build/distribution/deployment scripting tool along the lines of Make or Rake. What makes Paver unique is its integration with commonly used Python libraries. Common tasks that were easy before remain easy. More importantly, dealing with your applications specific needs and requirements is now much easier."Unfurl
