From Python import Podcast

From Python Import Podcast is dedicated to sharing thoughts, opinions, rants, and intelligent discussion about all things Python. We have a special focus on practical application, but like all bitheads, we stray far and wide, from design theory to the best way to configure vim.

• Technology: Blogofile (Python-based static website/blog generator)

OpenLibrary

One web page for every book ever published. It's a lofty but achievable goal. Open Library is an open project: the software is open, the data are open, the documentation is open, and we welcome your contribution. Whether you fix a typo, add a book, or write a widget--it's all welcome. We have a small team of fantastic programmers who have accomplished a lot, but we can't do it alone!
