As mentioned earlier, I like PyDS, in particular for its upstreaming facilities and its native language.
But, I am finding some enhancements that I need to work on. Here's some notes to self of things to do.
Categories: Basic categories work. However, it turns out that currently, PyDS only supports a flat set of categories, no hierarchy.
This will not do in the long run, but for now I will live with it.
PyDS as a Service: Need to convert PyDS to run as a windows service
Pinging: For some reason, pinging of weblogs.com and the like is not working, even though I think I've configured it correctly. Could it have something to do with the fact that I am upstreaming via ftp? |

Python will play a role in the explorations here. I have grown increasingly enamored with python over the past 6 months as I've become acquainted with it, and find myself turning to it more and more.
Frankly, in a way it seemed more like it found me. All of the emerging technologies that I was exploring (that list will have to wait for another post, but I can at least mention Jabber, mod_pubsub, and Leo) seemed to have one thing in common - they all had either python foundations or python interfaces! If I was to blend them all together as I envisioned, I would need to learn python. That was the start, roughly 9 months ago.
Then selective attention kicked in. Suddenly, everywhere I looked, python was popping up, and I found that many of the modelers and hackers on the 'net that I most revered were in fact python-heads at heart.
And finally, about 4 months ago, as I got my new domain registered and hosted, and was trying to determine how to most easily bootstrap my blog, I found PyDS, a blogging system that not only supported upstreaming (which I needed), but also was crafted in, what else, python.
PS: This post is also a first test of categories in PyDS |
