EveryDNS Python API
HostingFu — EveryDNS Python API and Command Shell. A Python library I wrote to provide API access to EveryDNS, a free DNS hosting service. Very useful if you need to change IP address to a few dozen DNS records.

Python 2.6 final has just been released, and What’s New in Python 2.6 would be one recommended reading. Quite a few syntax sugar, although a lot of them are preparing for Python 3.0 (which would introduce quite a few incompatibility with Python 2.x). From the previous experience with upgrading from Python 2.4 to 2.5, [...]
Django 1.0 is finally released today and looks like it is going to be a good stable platform for many Python developers to build their next web app on. Tried to pick up Django 2 and half years ago but I’ve never managed to write a full application from it. Just let me append it [...]

That has been on my status page for a few weeks now and I have only been twittering via IM (routing it through my own Jabber server). That sucks. While they have been triumphing the fact they have made it through WWDC, [...]

Guido van Rossum: Python 3000 Status: A schedule was first published around a year ago; we were aiming for a first 3.0 alpha release by the end of the first half of 2007, with a final 3.0 release a year later. (Python 3.0 will be the version when it is released; “Python 3000″ or “Py3k” is [...]
I have just released Trackback ‘em All 0.1. It is basically an RSS/Atom feed to pingbacks/trackbacks converter. It fetches a list of RSS/Atom feeds, scan through the entries, and send pingback/trackback to all external links in the feed entries. I have actually been using it for a few months already. It basically: Speeds up your posting [...]
Alrond’s technoblog: The performance test of 6 leading frameworks. Very interesting read, as Alrond tested Django (Python), TurbGears (Python), Ruby on Rails 1.1.6/1.2.1 (Ruby), Catalyst (Perl), Code Igniter (PHP) and Symfony (PHP), using various load and memory testing utilities. His conclusion? Django is fast, and can be very light on memory as well. RoR 1.1.6 is significantly [...]
