Your experience really resonates with me. I too suffer from occasional panic attacks. What techniques do you use to suppress them?

I'm curious as well...and while I'm at it do you store the analytics in a db?

I agree. I'm a huge proponent on giving it a try and seeing where you are from just doing it.

Exactly as painful as it might seem. Automated tests can only get you so far. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and dig into the code base.

Agreed that is why I always walk to work and rarely bring my car.

No you're definitely not the only one. My company uses EC2 for our production environment and I loathe the management interface with a passion. Amazon should definitely hire a UI expert to give that damn thing a face lift.

I'm an interested party as well. As a student of machine learning I would love to learn the techniques you've applied. I'm doing a data mining startup and this would be very helpful.

I think the rabbit hole goes a little deeper than that don't you think?

> content tube sites that have some really quite excellent taxonomy, categorization and deeper search functions - surfacing the content that each viewer wants is a unique experience for each person.

Fascinating what sort of sites have this feature?

Wow looks like web.py for PHP. I think I've seen a similar project whilst lurking around Github the other day.

Nice but is there any mention in the article about support for just writing plain old SQL? I love the ideas of ORMs (my app now currently uses SQLAlchemy) but I find myself dropping back to SQL when things get a little complex. I think new age ORMs should leave support for dropping back to SQL. Cool project nonetheless.

I rock it old school and still prefer web.py over anything.

How does Flask compare with web.py?

Word...though I think you'd be pleased to know that Kohana is one of the better engineered PHP code bases out there.

Personally I would go for either CodeIgniter or it's more well built cousin Kohana.

You would be referring to the book written by Toby Sagaran would you? If it is I second your notion, an excellent book btw. Really got me into algorithms and the like.

Upvote I used to dig BeautifulSoup. It's latest release is slower than it's predecessors. That's why I use PyQuery nowadays, it's based on lxml and uses a jQuery like API to access the DOM.

Gambit Scheme does it better I think.

I find this incredibly useful for internationalizing apps! I can tell I'm going to have alot of fun using this lib.

Agreed not everything in Python is well thought out. Lambdas and .join comes to mind.

Pylons.
