Projects.

staticjinja (github.com)
As is popular these days, Ceasar has created a static site creation script to be used with the Jinja2 templating language. Looks pretty cool, take a look!

algorithms (github.com)
This project is a growing list of algorithms implemented and provided as part of a module. So far plenty of searching and sorting algorithms implemented in here. At the very least it’s instructive to take a look at these algorithm implementations if you currently don’t have any use for them.

Interesting article that discusses areas of software development that are on the rise that Python has trouble breaking into traditionally. Should this concern the community?

Help fund Read The Docs (ericholscher.com)
I am sure as a member of the Python community more often than not you make use of RTD whether you know it or not. Support it! Much like everything else the service is up kept by corporate sponsorship.

Why I'm not leaving Python for Go (wordpress.com)
This is more of an article about Go error handling than Python, but it reminds you that the little things in Python we take for granted everyday.

Getting started with Django on AWS Elastic Beanstalk (grigory.ca)
