Open source enterprise-grade ECM solution

"...explains how to perform common programming tasks in Python. It is a good place to go after you've read the Python Tutorial and have a reasonable grasp of the basics of the language."

After way too long I made a real release of FormEncode. Hopefully I didn't forget anything; but if I did I'll just make another release, not that big a deal. SQLObject is going to depend on FormEncode, because sqlobject.includes.validators was always just an expedient fork of FormEncode.

Interesting ... an XML-specific template system ... that's errr not a template system.

An open source framework written in Python for developing CMSs

A commenter on my Madlibs story (Blake Winton) complained that his perfectly valid email address was being refused by my email validator. His email address has a plus sign in it, and my validator didn't like it. I was using this regex: (more..)

A few days back I listened to this IMA Keynote by Rob Curley on IT Conversations. It blew my mind. I started out looking for some insight in to the team behind Django, The Lawrence Journal-World, lawrence.com, and so on.

ShotCode is yet another scannable URL technology. It's kind of like TinyURL crossed with barcodes, aimed at people with cell phone cameras. It seems like a great idea: the site has an animation of a guy looking at a concert poster, and he buys tickets just by aiming his cell camera at the ShotCode on the poster. Unfortunately, I don't think it will fly, mainly because it requires the cell phone user to download ShotCode software into their phone. The whole idea of the thing is to enable people to do impulse Internet purchases with their phone. Who downloads software into their phone so that they can later make impulse purchases? (more..)

Since Google searches don’t turn up much of value here, I’m curious if there are any folks out there reading this that work with Python and are in the Ann Arbor or Detroit area. I don’t see signs of an established PUG around here.

and now, daily zen... By sitting alone all day long I clear my mind of a thousand thoughts. To speak of this is beyond our words; Only by sitting under the quiet forest Can we ever understand. - Fa Yen (885-958)

Termite currently has a dependency on libuuid to generate universally unique identifiers. Since there is no need for the result to conform to the uuid_t data type, just that the result is unique across space and time, I wrote a uuid generator in Scheme which will make running Termite easier on more platforms. I loosely followed the pattern for generating primary keys in EJB Design Patterns which does not require a singleton or a database, etc.

Phillip J. Eby recently said: unittest has gotten something of a bad rap, I think. Regardless of whether you like its basic testing facilities or not, it is an extremely good framework.

One reason that I wanted write (an as yet unfinished) additional piece on the topic of women in open source, is that in our own family, there has been a confluence around the topic of women in distributed communities: BlogHer took place a few days before OSCON officially started, and one of the last sessions at OSCON was on women in open source. So in an effort to cross pollinate, here's Julie's summary post on her experience of BlogHer.

AUM FEEDS

There are men whose deeds ring out across the history books Centuries, even millenia, after they have died Giants who molded earth and men Others the world remembers for a generation's time Great works for king and country fading As brilliant medals ...
