New Perspectives on Information Technology
Grig Gheorghiu has very complete notes on Guido’s Python 2006 Keynote talk on the State of Python 2006.
I like co-routines, and I love the idea of getting eggs into the standard library!
Ian Bicking suggested yesterday that we have a Python Web Framework developer dinner meeting, and I helped to let people know about it, and get it organized.
I thought it went pretty well, and I hope that there are going to be some interesting developments that come out of it. I just wish I had more time to work on integration projects because there’s a lot of good stuff out there than just needs a little bit of love to make it more widely available.
It also seems pretty obvious that with Zope 3, TurboGears, and Django — Python web development is healthier than ever before, and the next year is going to be very good for web development. WSGI is also becoming more and more of a reality on the ground. And WSGI is going to enable a whole host of powerful new Python Web Development stories.
I think 2006 is clearly going to be the year with the best Python Web Development stories ever. Our job is to build the technologies that enable these stories and to find compelling ways to tell these stories to the wider web development community.
