Python
Python is my programming language of choice. I've been using it for over ten years.
I currently serve on the Board of Directors of the Python Software Foundation.
I am currently working on:
- pinax — a platform on top of Django for creating collaborative and social Web sites more quickly
- django-atompub — implementation of Atom format and protocol for the Django web framework
- Leonardo — the wiki/blog scripts that this site runs on
- Cleese — an operating system in Python
Plus there are plenty of little Python scripts and snippets in blog points linked to at the bottom.
Projects in hiatus are:
- pyjamas — build AJAX apps in Python (like Google did for Java)
- ApplePy — an Apple II emulator in Python
- Sebastian — a music composition system
- Demokritos — an atom store (now see django-atompub)
- PyGo
Open-source software I have previously written in Python includes:
- PyTREX
- Redfoot
- Tim — a tree-based IM client
- PyLing — a library for doing computational linguistics
- PyMMO — a framework for building massively multiplayer online games
- pyso — pygame-based package for isometric games
- a graphical shell widget
I also mentored the Python Bayesian Network project (in 2005) and the PyCells project (in 2006) for Google's Summer of Code. In 2007 and 2008, I was the organizational administrator for the Python Software Foundation's projects in the Summer of Code.
