PyCon Wireless Network

Sean's write-up of how he pulled off the wireless networking at PyCon this year. This should be required reading for anyone holding a geek conference; PyCon's network coverage was *far* better than any other conference I've ever been at.

Re: Best Practices for Distributing Lucene Indexing and Searching

From the horse's mouth, the best practices for distributing Lucene indexes.

(apache, lucene, pycon2007)

CollectionDistribution - Solr Wiki

How to correctly distribute a Lucene index.

(apache, lucene, pycon2007, replication)

CPS Project: NXLucene

Another Lucene-based web service tool (this one based on Plone)

(code, indexing, java, lucene, pycon2007, python, search)

Isilon Systems

A networked storage appliance on top of BSD. Looks pretty sane.

(filesystem, hardware, media, network, pycon2007, storage)

Welcome to Hadoop!

Attempting to build an open-source clone of Google. Yes, you read that right.

(apache, google, lucene, pycon2007, search)

Welcome to pyglet

“Pyglet is a cross-platform gaming / multimedia library written in pure Python.” Built on OpenGL.

(development, game, graphics, library, pycon2007, python)

Welcome to Solr

Lucene as a search server. XML/JSON APIs, web administration interface. Java servlets (yech), but probably a lot easier than PyLucene.

(apache, API, java, lucene, pycon2007, search, server, web)

pythong.org.

These guys have some interesting ideas about Python Packaging.

PyCon - WebLion - Trac

Some notes from various PyCon sessions.

(notes, pycon2007, wiki)

svn-foreign

A tool to review an svn repository with new files/conflicts and quickly decide what to do with them. Pretty nifty.

(pycon2007, python, svn, tools)

pydoctor

YA python to API doc tool. But this one's by mwh, so it's likely a cut above.

(development, documentation, generator, programming, pycon2007, pydoc, python, tools)

Voting Research

Ping's page on his voting research. Some hackers hack code, others hack democracy.

(politics, pycon2007, python, security, visualization, voting)

Capability Myths Demolished

From Brett Cannon's talk on his proposed Python security system.

(acl, computing, pycon2007, security)

Connectors for the NdbApi in Launchpad

Low-level database connectors for MySQL. Essentially you get to use a relational database without SQL. Could be very interesting when combined with an ORM.

(database, development, library, mysql, programming, pycon2007, python)

PythonTestingToolsTaxonomy - Cheesecake - Trac

An amazing breakdown of the various Python testing tools — there are even more of them then web frameworks!

(code, lists, pycon2007, python, testing, tools, webdev)

Application Traffic Management, Application Security

Commercial (and expensive) load balancer (++)

PyCon Braindump

There are some great roundups of the content at PyCon out there; this isn’t one of them. See, I have this notebook (Moleskine FTW!) I carry with me everywhere, and now it’s chock-full of note from PyCon; this is a braindump.
