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 websites more quickly
• Sebastian — a music composition system
• czerny — a music performance assessment system

Plus there are plenty of little Python scripts and snippets in blog points linked to at the bottom.

Projects in hiatus are:

• 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
• ApplePy — an Apple II emulator in Python
• Demokritos — an atom store (now see django-atompub)
• PyGo

Open-source software I have previously written in Python includes:

• pyjamas — build AJAX apps in Python (like Google did for Java)
• 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.
