I’ve just watched TurboTunes screencast … CatWalk seems to be a good piece of code which puts SQLObject in all its userfriendly point-an-click glory ! It made me think about Django’s CRUD admin sites in some aspects, though Django seems a bit simpler in that particular field, in terms of …

There’s been lots of discussions recently about Django, TurboGears, and other Rails … With the release of Quixote 2.3, a thread started on quixote-users mailing list about Quixote’s popularity. There are some very interesting thoughts in this thread, proposing a sample application skeleton which Dulcinea would provide. Indeed …

I got some bad feedback about svnlook’s usage in SubveRSSed. Some time ago Roel Vanhout proposed to replace some svnlook calls with pysvn API calls. I took the time to apply it and drop the remaining calls to svnlook :)

Hey windows users having issues with SubveRSSed and svnlook ? Give …

There’s a lot of noise these days about Unicode nightmare in Python. I also have some trouble with that, it’s good to know i’m not the only one ;) Anyway i attended a talk by Marc-André Lemburg at LSM 2005 about Unicode good practices in Python application development …

Cheetah is a very good templating language, especially because it’s the one (correct me if i’m wrong) to apply the Object-Oriented model to Documents. It can seem a bit weird at the beginning but when you get used to it, you can’t live without it :-)

So, i …

Just noticed an edje compiler in Ruby. That’d be fun to design graphical E17 stuff in Python too :-)

Since few weeks i’ve been working on the next generation of this blog’s engine : Alinea3. While Alinea 2 was powered by Webware and ZPT, Alinea3 uses Quixote and Cheetah.

The database schema remained quite the same, except for the Roles layer which was added to provide a flow-engine-like …

In a previous post i was discussing about PyRXP .. Now i’m playing with PyRXPU which aims to PyRXP with Unicode support … But, i’m not sure to understand the crap strings it returns:
