A bit confusing… sorry. I meant to say the 2.x branch of python not Django which I suppose is not really considered a branch but a whole other thing.

Yes, if it is accepted into the core then it means you will be able to run Django on Python 3 soon. Keep in mind though that: * This port was basically done in a week so many parts still need analysis and discussion. It's a huge step though

What I like about this article is that it's not trying to point blame. It's not that men are actively trying to shut out women or making a hostile environment (although some probably are), it's that they do it in subtle ways without even no

OK this is really interesting because one of the obvious criticisms you can lob over at Node.js is that the nested callback program structure that Javascript forces onto you is somewhat ugly and hard for a developer coming from more traditi

Calling something fair or not is applying your morals to the situation. This change means that each person gets treated fairly (in the mathematical sense) but each group does not. It is sort of like how in the US House is representation

Django also calls the functions/classes where you define the logic of selecting the models to operate on, validate, pick output, etc… a 'view'. The template where you map the data to html is just that: a template. People coming to Django fr

There's nothing wrong with django-bcrypt. The main reason for picking PBKDF2 is because it can be implemented without pulling in a dependency to the core framework. The Django team does a lot of work to maintain backwards-compatability and

Sure, the intent is good. However, would a hypothetical <weight unit=grams>5</weight> be any better than "5gm"? When I see a number followed by the letters 'gm' I know it's a weight in the units of grams. Google knows that

This is definitely a great update and it's getting close, but for me this still can't replace gitx. I absolutely need something that can show a tree-view version of the repo branches. Even the CLI can do this. The web UI has the network gra

If you want a similar solution but are more comfortable in python then also check out hyde: http://ringce.com/hyde It's very similar in spirit but uses python and the corresponding tools to get the job done.
