Posted on October, 20 at 5:51 pm | Filed Under Jython, Python

Posted on October, 3 at 9:32 am | Filed Under Python

I have a side project where I would like to use xsl style sheets to process xml data.  This is probably part of a small DJango or TurboGears project where users upload large xml datasets and they view them using various xsl style sheets.  What is the best way to go about doing this with [...]

Posted on September, 22 at 7:14 am | Filed Under Jython

The recent DJango 1.0 release adds tons of updated features, but for me the one feature that is most intriguing is its support for Jython.  I think this may be a first for a web framework, and it holds some interesting potential.  One of the first things that comes to mind is that we can [...]

DJango on Jython!

Posted on August, 21 at 12:22 pm | Filed Under CM, Collaboration, Jython

Yes it looks like it is finally here via random.choice(['idea', 'rant', 'link', 'tip']).  This I think is great news for both Jython and DJango and shows in particular how far Jython has come lately.  The momentum on the Jython front is also great to see since I persuaded our product team to add Jython into [...]
