Why don't a few people here tell us what they got up to this year?
Neat projects at work, things you learned about Python in 2010, things
you've been playing with....
It's been an interesting year in Python for me. The London dojos have
been fantastic - met some great people and learnt a lot of new skills. I
also submitted some test coverage code to Python 3.2 while at
EuroPython, which was cool.
Until recently, I was maintaining Python-based data feed systems and
using a liberal application of Python to fix things that weren't easy to
fix using other tech. I'm now involved with a new company and doing
prototyping work for redeveloping a huge system written in PHP and Perl,
replacing particular core components with Python, Django and Celery. Hurray!
Two personal projects have occupied me this year. The first is a wargame
written using PyGame - the code is a mess and has been neglected the
last few months. I plan to rewrite most of it based on lessons learnt
and release the source code properly (it's in a private BitBucket repo
at the moment).
The second project is FluidInYourEar, which uses FluidDB as the backend
database. It's a music band/genre browser which ultimately wants to
become a communal music recommender (mostly heavy metal but could be
anything). I'm midway porting it to Flask and Google's AppEngine, but
don't have time to progress it at the moment. I gave a talk in October
on FIYE which was the first time I've given a tech talk - hope to do
more such talks next year, including one at PyCon AU 2011 if I can pluck
up enough courage.
