Looking back at ten years of programming web applications with Python, and musings on what lies ahead.

I just uploaded version 0.1 of a new product to the Cheeseshop. It provides partial GenericSetup support for the tools present in a Plone 2.5.x site. I will be tracking issues against the product at http://agendaless.com/home/tseaver/software/plone_gs/issues

A brief proposal on how and when one might prefer to use "standard" setuptools features, rather than relying on zc.bulidout.

I'd like to thank the Plone Summit organizers for inviting me to the summit, even though I decided not to go (I just got back from a week in Japan, and boy are my arms tired).

I have released version 0.2 of a setuptools plugin to the Cheeseshop. When installed, the plugin extends the .egg-info generation done by many setup commands to create a new file, test_info.txt, which captures the data used by the setup.py test command.

A haunting tale of "guts on the table."
