symbian python
When I changed jobs a couple of months ago, I got a new phone; a Nokia 6680. One of the reasons I wanted a series 60 phone was so I could play with the python build that Nokia has made available for them. Last night I finally got around to installing it. [...]
using twill for web application testing
Twill is a new python based scriptlet language for web application testing. I’ve been trying it out over the past few days and I’m finding it really useful for automating routine testing tasks during development. I can also see that it would be a great tool for test driven development.
The syntax is pretty [...]
SQLObject
Last night I spent some time playing with SQLObject, an object-relational mapper for Python. I’d know about it for ages, but it’s been on my radar lately because it figures prominantly in at least one attempt to replicate the ruby on rails experience in python (related note: Ian Bicking has a great essay on [...]

Terrific article from IBM developerworks about using Eclipse to do Python development.
creosote: it’s wafer thin
I’ve set up a new resource/blog on the site called creosote which presents a daily aggregated view of python-related postings. At the moment I’m culling python tagged links from del.icio.us, items from Planet Python, and entries from the Daily Python-URL. The page and its syndication feed are updated twice a day; I may [...]
