"In the Java world there was always a problem with dependencies. All the jars we had to mange by hand – quite awful. Thankfully there is a Maven project which helps us in requirements management. But what about Python? Is there any way to handle necessary libraries? Of course, there is! It is a tandem of virtualenv and pip." by Marcin Swierczynski
"Last week I’ve completed an interesting task within our project: building internal link-shortening system based on persisted objects, not on constant URLs. The main requirement was to get as loosely-coupled design as possible. In the perfect world the “shortenable” classes should know absolutely nothing about link-shortening mechanism.

Lennon Day-Reynolds wrote on his blog: "I’ve recently made the transition from full-time Rails development to a mix of technologies including, in large part, Django. Since I was a Python guy before I ever started using Ruby, the transition has mostly been an easy one, but there are some fairly significant differences in design and philosophy between the two frameworks that are worth thinking about if you’re picking a platform for a new project."
Packt Publishing from UK informed me that they published an interesting book "Django 1.0 Template Development", written by Scott Newman. I have not read yet, but it has many positive reviews (e.g. Lowkster and contenthere).
Zed Shaw wrote "I haven’t had much time to do any coding since I’ve been studying music full time, and I’m taking these two weeks to work on all the pent up projects and work I’ve been ignoring. One of those projects is to finally try out Django tonight."
