I've seen many parsers, from ad-hoc regexes to real grammars like this one, that attempt to process natural, human-readable query strings that resemble Google searches. (The example at the top of this writeup, `john city:"new york" last_cal

Crazily, I have also built a (rudimentary) similar project out of Flask, Backbone, and HTML5 audio (and Mutagen, of course). It's a piece of a larger music-management puzzle: http://beets.readthedocs.org/en/1.0rc2/plugins/web.html Anywa

Bike theft is a huge problem precisely because there's no good way to track stolen gear. I'll buy one of these in an instant if it works well.

You sound like you're disagreeing with the OP, but the article explicitly calls out a $400K+ category of app development if you "do everything right". I think you're on the same page as the author here.

The author demonstrates an SQL "injection" via "malicious" django-admin.py input. Is it really SQL injection if the user has access to your site's admin script? Some input really is trusted.

It's odd that the import mechanism is abused here to make objects "out of thin air". The fact that "from pbs import ffmpeg" works only if ffmpeg is actually on the path is somewhat surprising. I think the more comfortable (and Pythonic?) wa
