I didn't think I did all that much with Python this year other than throwing together a few "one off" scripts to collate and analyze data from several thousand tills. These so-called "one off" scripts have been remarkably useful and they saved one of our teams a lot of time by automating what was previously a rather time consuming, ad hoc process. That being said, our client's demand for stats is insatiable.
Last year I did a bit more. We had what appeared to be a performance issue with online authorisation for a POS system. We suspected that the problems were coming from an external system, but couldn't prove it given the data that we had. We used Stackless Python, along with a useful little framework called Concurrence (http://opensource.hyves.org/concurrence/), to write some performance testing utilities to demonstrate that the POS system was indeed fit for purpose and that the cause of the problem was external. --- Rod
