Zope at the Royal Bank of Scotland

ZDNet UK has an article about a massive Zope deployment at the Royal Bank of Scottland (for an Intranet, it seems).

Unfortunately, the article gives absolutely no functional nor technical details. So it's hard to know of if this project is more impressive that some of the projects we did recently.

Congratulations anyway to the people who worked on the project.

Python n'est pas un langage de niche!

C'est le titre de la préface que j'ai écrite au bouquin de Tarek.

Le texte complet (en PDF) de ma préface est disponible sur le site d'Eyrolles.

La table des matières, la préface de Stephan Richter, l'avant propos, deux chapitres, et les annexes sont également disponibles en PDF sur la page du bouquin chez Eyrolles.

CPS 3.4.0beta1 released

I've just posted several announcements for the CPS 3.4.0 beta1 release. It was a bit tiring since many things have changed since CPS 3.3.8 (we did an "alpha" in late december, but it was not packaged, just an annoucement in the dev mailing list).

There is still a lot of work to finish before we finish (at least a beta2) but I'm confident we are on the right track.

Article dans 01 Informatique: "Python débarque en puissance sur .Net"

La sortie d'IronPython est l'occasion pour 01 Informatique de faire un papier sur Python.

Interrogé sur le sujet, j'en ai profité pour glisser quelques mots des autres implémentations "alternatives" de Python: Jython, Stackless et PyPy.

Updated megaframeworks concept map

Here is an updated concept map ( PDF, PNG) of five Python megaframeworks (Turbogears, CPS, Django, Subway and Pylons) and their relationships to other Python frameworks and libraries.

Thanks for the comments on the previous version.

"Programmation Python": site launched and book soon to be available

Tarek has put some finishing touches this week-end on the programmation-python.org website, which is going to support the book he has recently finished for Editions Eyrolles, which is going to be available in bookshops on jan 19th.

Of course, the website runs CPS ;)

Python megaframeworks concept map

Here is a map ( png, pdf) that I've just drawn to try to clarify the dependencies between the so-called frameworks and "megaframeworks" and other Python packages.

I have tried to cover, so far:

• Zope (w/ CPS as an example of a framework built on top of Zope)
  
• TurboGears
• Django
• Subway
• Pylons
  

Feel free to comment. I'm probably wrong in many places. (Even the CPS part may be wrong ;) ).
