Python Web Developer Appliance
June 27th, 2006
Jim McDonald of our local Python Users Group (MichiPUG) created the Python Web Developer Appliance, which is a VMWare Player appliance for trying out almost everything you could want related to Python web development. It’s all configured and ready to run. It’s a slick piece of work if you’re looking to tinker.
TurboZSI SOAP web services for TurboGears
June 27th, 2006
Charlie Moad announced TurboZSI today, which is a package that wraps up the ZSI library to provide SOAP-based web services for TurboGears. It looks good, but it also reminds me about why I like standard HTTP with JSON return values for web APIs.

TG Site: MeCommerce 50% revenue split for bloggers
June 23rd, 2006
TechCrunch has the story today: GoodStorm to offer e-commerce widget with 50% revenue split for bloggers, talking about a new service called MeCommerce. There’s a whole bunch going on in this one that makes me take notice. 1) MeCommerce was put together by FrozenBear and runs TurboGears under the hood. 2) 50% of retail markup (not revenue, as TechCrunch states) is a sweet deal. 3) People can buy things without leaving your site… not necessary, but cool. 4) GoodStorm looks like a better deal than CafePress when it comes to shirts.
WebFaction gives 50% of profits to TurboGears
June 23rd, 2006
WebFaction, in addition to having the easiest TurboGears hosting, is now good for the project in another way: they are paying 50% of their profits from TurboGears hosting back to the project. That is money that I use to get services that benefit TurboGears itself.
Not sure who WebFaction is? WebFaction was formerly Python-Hosting.com. These guys know how to host TurboGears apps. After all, two of the principal folks from CherryPy are there!
A big thanks to Remi and co. at WebFaction!
iBox javascript
June 21st, 2006
iBox is like Lightbox but can handle separate pages, inline divs and images. It’s also small (11K).
The host with the most
DreamHost is impossible to beat. They give you tons of disk space, bandwidth and features super cheap. And their support is good, too! Blue Sky On Mars is hosted at DreamHost.
Great deal VPS
Run anything you want, including TurboGears, starting at $7 a month!
