robhudson's django-debug-toolbar at master - GitHub - ok, this tool is officially hugo-approved. Simply brilliant, it provides exactly the right amount of information for Django development and doesn't interfere with existing layouts (at least it worked well for me in experiments).
programmierung - 27.8.2010 - 25.10.2010
postgres 9 streaming replication and django balancer - Santana may not yet run with Django 1.2, but the balancer for database access combined with PostgreSQL replication sounds like a nice method to scale up Django systems when normal means with one database are no longer sufficient. Maybe I should set up a test installation.
Fuzzy Mathematics with FuzzPy (Part 1) | Mad Python - if it's not just about fuzzy numbers or error propagation, but also fuzzy sets or graphs are of interest, this module might help.
buckingham - Project Hosting on Google Code - an interesting project that not only tracks error propagation in calculations (which we've already discussed recently), but also takes units into account and can convert between units.
Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - had I already had that? Doesn't matter. jqTouch for creating iPhone web applications. Since I'm playing around with that at work right now, I'll just blog about it.
PhoneGap - if the site is up, there should be an application to convert a web application into a native application (with extended access to native features of the iPhone or other devices). Note for later.
jacksonh's manos at master - GitHub - Web framework for C# that also runs with Mono. Yes, I know, C# - but I need it for the company anyway and then I could just as well take a look at something like this.
kramdown - a nice Markdown implementation for Ruby that can produce both HTML and PDF (via LaTeX) and is therefore interesting for sites that want to make content available for download.
Andrew de Quincey's livejournal - not only are iPads interesting to jailbreak, but also book readers like the Kindle (which has quite interesting hardware)
Camelot - See it - quite obvious: take Python and an ORM (here SQLAlchemy) and make a 4G language for database programming with QT as a graphical interface. The whole thing here as a GPL project for which you can also get commercial licenses if you want to create commercial programs with it.
uncertainties Python package v1.7.0 documentation - a very interesting Python module that allows you to use floats with uncertainties in functions. Particularly interesting for situations where you need to track error propagation in calculations (e.g. planning figures or measurement data).
santhoshtr's pypdflib at master - GitHub - I might need this, especially since there is a sample that renders restricted HTML to PDF.
Filtering Dropdown Lists in the Django Admin — Stereoplex - because it is often needed and because some good ways are described here.
arskom's soaplib at 1_0 - GitHub - and another SOAP library. This one can provide the services as WSGI applications, so I can actually throw away the whole server handling from the Toolserver and replace it with normal WSGI servers like Apache mod_wsgi or FLUP.
pysimplesoap - Project Hosting on Google Code - as I still have a work project open to modernize my toolserver, this could be a candidate to replace the rather outdated (and buggy for years) SOAPpy.
Using the ElementTree Module to Generate SOAP Messages - and another SOAP library, this one is based on the nice ElementTree parser. And it's built by effbot, which also gives a lot of hope (he can XML).
dcramer's django-sentry at master - GitHub - unfortunately only Django 1.2 (my own internal framework that is based on Django is unfortunately not compatible with 1.2 at the moment), but very interesting for collecting error messages from Django in the database for later evaluation. Of course, you can also have the errors sent to you by mail, which is already possible with built-in tools, but especially when several people are maintaining a system, storing them in the database can be much more convenient.
Where I've already been - simply because I wanted to play around with the Google Maps API. I've already been to the green areas, I've also been to the red areas and I found that great, yellow is planned.
gcv's appengine-magic at master - GitHub - is intended to enable interactive development of Google AppEngine tools.
jduey's arrows at master - GitHub - I should take a closer look, Lisp (and thus Clojure) is usually much closer to me as a programming language than Haskell and maybe I will finally understand what these Arrows are all about.
ninjudd's cake at master - GitHub - should I take a look at this? Especially the persistent JVM when using scripts could be interesting.
Kojo Home - an environment similar to Processing with Scala as the scripting language. Very interesting because it runs on multiple platforms like Processing, delivers quick visual results but is not based on Java, but on a modern multi-paradigm language. In addition, it offers a small turtle right from the start, just like in Logo. Turtles are cool.
README - copperhead - Project Hosting on Google Code - interesting idea, using decorators and introspection in Python to build an embedded language for programming on the GPU. Or to put it more understandably: translate Python code (limited language scope) into GPU machine language.
codepad - practical when discussing code in chat, as the code is not only displayed but also executed. Therefore, especially interesting for algorithms where you can include the data in the code.
Free Pascal - Advanced open source Pascal compiler for Pascal and Object Pascal - Home Page - Blast from the Past. The new 2.4 of Free Pascal supports OSX/Arm as a target. Yes, this is supposed to allow programming iPhone applications - and with the lifting of Apple's tool restrictions, this could almost be realistic (though I don't know how good the integration with Cocoa is). However, I'm not really sure if I would want to deal with Pascal again after all these years.
home | Disco Project - yesterday I already had mincemeat, disco is similar but more advanced if the simple model of mincemeat is not enough.
Lazarus Snapshots - just for completeness: there is also a GUI-IDE like Delphi for Free Pascal, and according to the list of snapshots it also works on OSX (i.e. the Mac, not the iPhone). Those who want to play around with Pascal might be able to get started with the linked snapshots.
octopy - Project Hosting on Google Code - and a small and simple implementation of mapreduce in Python.
mincemeat.py: MapReduce on Python - stupidly simple map-reduce framework. Just a Python file and minimal code and you have a map-reduce cluster.
Sass - Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets - I'm not sure if I'm so enthusiastic about it yet, but it's basically a preprocessor for CSS that offers various extensions that make it easier to write complex CSS.
NodeBox for OpenGL | City in a Bottle - builds on Pyglet and provides a 2D animation library for Python.
objgraph - Drawing Python object reference graphs - I'll definitely check this out, even though I fear my memory structures are too wild to be represented graphically (many such tools assume that everything more complex is encapsulated in objects, but with a more functional programming approach, standard data structures are used much more heavily). It would be worth a try, though.
pyglet - interesting small graphics library for Python. Looks nice and is multi-platform and should be easy to install (no dependencies).
Introduction - those who prefer to automate with Ruby instead of AppleScript will find a good documentation for a Ruby AppleScript Bridge here.
Lingua::Romana::Perligata -- Perl for the XXIst Century - Perl. In Latin.
Squeryl - this looks very interesting, reminds strongly of LINQ (which is not necessarily bad, even if it comes from Microsoft). It definitely makes sense to use Scala's features to build an ORM that goes far beyond normal Java ORMs.
COBOL ON COGS - I am at a loss for words ...
DOS on Dope: The last MVC web framework you'll ever need - I am scared.
Plac - a very nice option parser for command-line tools. The special feature: the parameters are simply determined from the function definitions and the whole thing works from Python 2.3 onwards (with some limitations in syntax, as there were no decorators in Python 2.3 and annotations only exist from Python 3 onwards). Seems to be a good way to build tools that should run on multiple Python versions (because otherwise only getopt remains and that is really very primitive).
Python Datastructures Backed by Redis @ Irrational Exuberance - Redis itself is already very interesting because it is not just a simple key-value store, but structured data (lists, sets) are allowed as values. And with this library, Redis structures are accessible as normal Python data types, making programming with Redis even simpler. Combined with replication in Redis, this could be very interesting in clustered environments.
zeromq - no idea if I already had it, but hey, repetitions also exist on TV. Interesting about ZeroMQ: it has almost no real build dependencies and is therefore directly installable on many systems. Oh, it's a message queue server with a lean interface and good performance.
JazzScheme - huh? Seems to have completely passed me by - there is an IDE for Gambit Scheme that runs on multiple platforms and can create binaries for OS X, Windows, and Linux.
Quicklisp - get started with Common Lisp libraries, quickly - Zach Beane is finally going to address the problem of the rather chaotic library situation for Common Lisp and is building a central repository for libraries with easy installation on various Lisp systems. In principle, something like PyPi or CPAN. Which is generally very interesting - but would be even more interesting if there were somewhere on the site or the group or the GitHub a hint as to how to actually get it running and with which Common Lisp ... (ok, it's still very early development status, but still - the only documentation a screencast? Hello?)
Paver: Easy Scripting for Software Projects - interesting small replacement for Make. Especially in connection with Python projects, it sounds very useful.
Pysistence - just checked if something like this exists or if I should write it myself. Pysistence implements functional persistent data structures for Python. This means that there are no side effects, but rather that each function provides a new version of the data, with common substructures shared across different versions (in order to be able to work efficiently with them both in terms of runtime and space requirements). I definitely need to take a look at this, as in many cases the lack of proper implementations of functional data structures in Python has bothered me.
The Official web2py Book - I'm a Djangonaut, but here's an online web2py book. And it doesn't hurt to look over the horizon.
emscripten - Compile LLVM bytecode to JavaScript, with loop detection etc. It's even usable to compile non-trivial C/C++ code to JavaScript. The author sees, for example, a purpose in porting existing game code to the JavaScript world, so it's quite serious. No indication whether you can boot a Linux kernel on a website with it ...
lambdaj - brings Java anonymous functions and higher-order functions (well, at least approximations of these).
nakkaya's static at master - GitHub - static site generator for websites in Clojure.
Meliae python memory analysis in Launchpad - sounds very interesting, bookmarked for later problems, could help with one or the other problem. Installation is quite simple via pip install meliae or easy_install meliae, it is also listed on pypi.
