📌 Candygram
An implementation of Erlang-style concurrency for Python. Processes are implemented on top of threads, unfortunately, so there’s a pretty low limit on the level of concurrency, which illustrates the problems with “porting” a concept like this between languages. Still the API is relatively sane, and with some work on the underlying model -- perhaps a switch to select/epoll -- this could be a very nice addition to the Python concurrency toolkit. #

zc.buildout, the build isolation system I’ve been using, has finally grown its own website, with real, actual documentation. Awesome. #

📌 Python Package Index : collective.buildbot 0.3.3
A set of zc.buildout recipes that make it *stupidly* easy to configure and set up a buildbot master or slave -- it’s literally like six shell commands to get a dummy buildbot going. Totally freeking awesome. #
