Python SOUP

April 13th, 2006

If you are Slovene happening to read this blog and programming/using/loving/liking/dreaming Python you should know that there is a new Slovene Python user group around - SOUP (Slovene Orthodox Users of Python).
Actually i don’t think there was an “old” python user group in the first place, so that makes it the first Python user group :)

Meet Django

July 23rd, 2005

I think i’ve found my perfect python web framework! Meet Django.

What you get?
(quoted from the official site)

Object-relational mapper - define your data models entirely in Python. You get a rich, dynamic database-access API for free

URLDispatcher - design pretty URLs with no framework-specific limitations. Be as flexible as you like.

Template system - Use Django’s powerful and extensible template language to separate design, content and Python code.

Cache system - Hook into memcached or other cache frameworks for super caching — as granularly as you need.

Automatic admin interface -Save yourself the tedious work of creating interfaces for people to add and update content. Django does that automatically.

Give it a try, read the overview and go through the tutorial. I was impressed :)

Movable type and Python

May 23rd, 2004

There are some python utilities that use Movable Type’s XML-RPC interface and thus allow you to view, post, delete and edit weblog entries, and more…
PyMT
mtsend.py

.. and of course, i just got a really cool idea (to me at least ;))
what if i make a flash interface for such a tool? We know how to embed flash into python, don’t we? :) right, .. all i need is some free time ….
