Web2Py Absolute trouble Shooter
Mar 4th
Do you want develop web applications in a fast, prototype based way using Python?
Follow us and learn how to use web2py….
Step 1: Python 2.6 proper setup
On Linux be sure to install sqlite development library; the following command will help on RedHat:
sudo apt-get install sqlite-devel
Install python 2.6, this will avoid the need of additional libraries.
You will also need openssl, so if you haven’t it issue commands like
sudo apt-get install openssl
and be sure to get also the python wrapper pyOpenSSL hosted here
We happly compiled pyOpenSSL from sources

Python functional programming
Feb 23rd
This entry is part 6 of 7 in the series Programming Languages
This article is a work in progress: it will be expanded by your comments…
Python is a very curios programming languages: it give you classes but also a strong function-oriented environment to play with. So, if you like functional programming (read: you like Lisp and/or Erlang) you should give python a closer look.
Django is going 1.2
Feb 11th
Django Project, a powerful and clean Python Web Framework, is going to relase 1.2 as the next milestone at the beginning of March. For the meanwhile, you can grab the Beta2:
As part of the Django 1.2 release process, tonight we’ve released Django 1.2 beta 1, a preview/testing package that gives a little taste of some of the new features coming in Django 1.2. As with all alpha and beta packages, this is not for production use, but if you’d like to try out some of the new goodies coming in 1.2, or if you’d like to pitch in and help us fix More >
Pyro
Feb 7th
One of the best thing of scripting languages like Python is the ability to fast prototype complex things. In the past ten years, if you like to build distributed application you was forced to use huge and heavily languages like Java.
On Python there is a nice library called Pyro, which used with success:
Pyro is short for PYthon Remote Objects. It is an advanced and powerful Distributed Object Technology system written entirely in Python, that is designed to be very easy to use. Never worry about writing network communication code again, when using Pyro you just write your Python objects like More >

Web2Py: a python web framework we like
Jun 29th
At Gioorgi.com we have used plenty of web frameworks.
Giovanni Giorgi used Seaside, a lot of PHP frameworks, Java Struts, RubyOnRails, and Python Django.
We have started to look for Web2Py, a compact, easy to learn python web framework.
From the most notable feature, it runs also on Google App Engine. Written by an Italian University professor for teaching web development, spots a very clean design, and a robust security infrastructure. We suggest it because installation (and upgrading) is a snap.
Let’s take a look to it…

Evolving concurrency, like memory management did
Jun 11th
As processors become faster and multiprocessor systems become cheaper, the need to take advantage of multithreading in order to achieve full hardware resource utilization only increases the importance of being able to incorporate concurrency in a wide variety of application categories.
In this article we are evaluting a new approach to the concurrency. In the last five years computers are becoming even more parallel. Intel is pushing multi-core achiteture also on commodity personal computers. Neverless the computing power is ofter not well used: one again, hardware is a step head of our day-by-day software development. Remember when the 80286 came into More >
JRuby and Jython: the easy way
Feb 9th
This entry is part 3 of 7 in the series Programming Languages
The revamp of Jython 2.5, the python interpreter written in Java, is a very good news, because give us the chance to think of a new way of coding. Looking at Google trends, JRuby and Jython are emerging as key pieces of a new puzzle.
OOP revolution take years to become active, and Java success is based on about 15 years of trials, errors and refinements.
After some considerations, at Gioorgi.com we are evaluting a new approach to java programming. New methodology emerge slowly, and it is not easy to find what is More >
