PyCon 2010, Analysis: The Other Kind of Testing

March 10, 2010 at 10:45 PM | categories: python, PyCon | View Comments

I gave a talk at PyCon 2010 in Atlanta last month called Analysis: The Other Kind of Testing (video). It's a very simple overview of techniques such as split testing (AB testing) and a call to action to improve django-lean.

Atlanta was a fantastic location for PyCon 2010, and I look forward to returning next year. Hopefully if I give another talk I'll be able to put a little more time into it :)

As per usual, I've been incredibly lazy about updating this blog, so you're much better off following @etrepum on Twitter.

PyCon 2009, Drop ACID and think about data

April 01, 2009 at 02:11 PM | categories: python, PyCon | View Comments

I'm getting increasingly lazy about updating my blog these days, probably best to follow me on twitter: http://twitter.com/etrepum

Anyway, I gave a talk at PyCon 2009 in Rosemont ("Chicago") last week called Drop ACID and think about data. Basically it is a survey of some of the various kinds of non-traditional database technologies I've been looking at the past few years. Notable technologies NOT talked about are object databases and graph databases. *UPDATE* Video available here: http://blip.tv/file/1949416

Slides are on BitBucket for now: Drop ACID and think about data

I'll be giving a (hopefully updated) version of this talk at OpenSourceBridge, which is in Portland, OR June 17-19.

If you're interested in the content of this talk there is far more insightful information on Jonathan Ellis' Programming Blog, one of the developers working on Cassandra.

simplejson (documentation) is a simple, fast, complete, correct and extensible JSON (RFC 4627) encoder/decoder for Python 2.3+. It is pure Python code with no dependencies, but features an optional C extension for speed-ups.

simplejson 2.0.4 is a minor bug-fix update:

  • Fixes a parsing error in the C extension when the JSON document is (only) a floating point number. It would consume one too few characters in that case, and claim the document invalid.
