EvServer is a lightweight http server, created especially to host python WSGI applications. Additionally, it supports little known Asynchronous WSGI extension, which was suggested by Christopher Stawarz. Using this extension it's possible to create an output html response in many data chunks, without blocking the main server process while your application waits for external resources.

Comet the WSGI way.

Until recently, Pinax had two choices for a given external dependency:

1. use svn:externals and point to the external dependency's svn repository
2. include the external dependency code in the Pinax codebase

However, there are problems with this approach:

1. it largely relies on external dependencies being in svn and this is increasingly not the case (although it was when Pinax started)
2. it makes it difficult for Pinax itself to move away from svn
3. there is no management of dependencies between external dependencies, nor between particular projects in Pinax and their individual dependencies

To solve these problems and more, Pinax is switching to a distutils-based approach. This means:

1. externals dependencies are encouraged to be released as distutil-compliant packages with a valid setup.py and put on PyPI
2. development versions of dependencies can be pulled in in a variety of different ways including from git, hg or bzr repositories

Erlang library for manipulating Adobe SWF files and related data formats

SimpleDB/dev provides a local SimpleDB server, so you can develop offline, without even currently having a SimpleDB account.

a nice usage of web.py

By using this library you can focus on implementing protocol and logic, instead of spending countless hours of writing and debugging asynchronous, non blocking, high performance socket routines.

eCouch is an Erlang application that provides access to CouchDb servers.

The XBL 2.0 has so far not been implemented in any modern web-browser. However the implementation hosted here is designed in a way that it will not be used in case browser supports the technology natively. The list below contains browsers on which the implementation was successfully tested.
