[BangPypers] Call for Python programmers interested in building social applications

Dear all, I am looking for help in building a social application using the python eco-system. The idea is to build a social application using peer to peer communication protocol or something similar. The motivation is to have a decentralized social application which is not owned by anyone. I

Planning to use Tornado for webserver, Pika for AMQP, Redis for database, Websockets... We could brainstorm on this. The repo will be hosted on Github. - Original Message - From: Kenneth Gonsalves Sent: 08/01/12 05:15 PM To: bangpypers@python.org Subject: Re: [BangPypers] Call for Pytho

Thats right. Diaspora clone you could call. Do we have something like that already written in python? - Original Message - From: Bharath Keshav Sent: 08/01/12 05:14 PM To: Bangalore Python Users Group - India Subject: Re: [BangPypers] Call for Python programmers interested in building so

What exactly are you trying to achieve with it ? Is the idea matured or you are still validating it. If you elaborate on the idea, it will be nice. -- Deepak Garg, Data Center and Cloud Div. Citrix R&D, India Github: https://github.com/gargdeepak LinkedIn: http://in.linkedin.com/in/deepakgar

Re: [BangPypers] Call for Python programmers interested in building social applications

Take a look at diaspora, as pointed by Bharath. That explains what I intend to develop. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_%28social_network%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_%28social_network%29&lang=en ) - Original Message - From: Ramchandra Apte Sent: 08/01/12 06:53 PM To:

Re: [BangPypers] Call for Python programmers interested in building social applications

If you take a look at diaspora you will see that the idea is mature enough. The project received good funding as well. If I had to explain in one line what the project is about, then I would say this "Socializing is a human need and the freedom to do it the way you want is a right". - Origi

If you have plans to use tornado I would suggest you to look into brubeck (brubeck.io). https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/brubeck-dev/Yr5yZ9zQfaQ/nBCeV8SbE0AJ Planning to use Tornado for webserver, Pika for AMQ

Re: [BangPypers] Call for Python programmers interested in building social applications

I am pretty clear about why I would want to use python. Lets be clear that this application will be complementary to Diaspora and not a competitior. A diaspora clone will extend the distributed social network idea and help Diaspora not the other way. If anyone thinks this could compete with Dias

Re: [BangPypers] Call for Python programmers interested in building social applications

Its not about competing with Diaspora, there's nothing wrong with that, we always need better or different flavors. My question is why not fork out of Diaspora and implement your features ? Why do you want to start the project from scratch ? Deepak On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 10:01 AM, Yoganand

I have a project which might largely overlap with this. The stack is: - twisted (web, web sockets, other protocols in a consistent framework) - doqu (an abstraction layer to nosql database backends, can be the standard shelve module, Redis, Tokyo Cabinet, etc) - jinja2 - wtforms - dojo (javascrip

Re: [BangPypers] Call for Python programmers interested in building social applications

I can fork out of Diaspora and implement features but mainly for two reasons With the technologies now available in python it would be much easier than me learning ROR and implementing. One of the goals of the project is to have something similar to Diaspora for the python developers. - O

Re: [BangPypers] Call for Python programmers interested in building social applications (Yoganand Anandaraju)

Thanks Aditya, I will look at these.. hoping these are all open source. It will help me think through the architecture once again. I myself am a hobbyist programmer and this community will turn me to real-programmer one day. Once we wet our hands on the code the repo will be there for everyone

Re: [BangPypers] Call for Python programmers interested in building social applications

This is nice Philippe. Hanji does much more than I was thinking in distributed social application. Can you let us know how we could take this forward? What are you project goals and what plans you have in mind for Hanji. Meanwhile i will checkout the code and go over the documentation. - Or
