We're very excited to release Pyston v2, a faster and highly compatible implementation of the Python programming language. Version 2 is 20% faster than stock Python 3.8 on our macrobenchmarks. More importantly, it is likely to be faster on your code. Pyston v2 can reduce server costs, reduce user latencies, and improve developer productivity. Pyston…
Cornice provides helpers to build & document REST-ish Web Services with Pyramid, with decent default behaviors. It takes care of following the HTTP specification in an automated way where possible.
Using Docker as the engine of the virtual environment makes the environment itself isolated, easily sharable, and also eventually ready-to-be-deployed given that it is still a Docker container.
A solution to quickly deploy and manage a complete email server, compatible with latest standards and optimized for delivery and reputation protection. Implemented in Python.

In the previous post, I showed how to manually rewrite a Python function into “combinator form”, and then apply YC to it, to get a serialisable version of the original function. In this post, I show…
Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library, originally developed at FriendFeed. By using non-blocking network I/O, Tornado can scale to tens of thousands of open connections, making it ideal for long polling, WebSockets, and other applications that require a long-lived connection to each user.
When looking for a new backend language, I naturally went from Python to the new cool kid: Go. But after only one week of Go, I realised that Go was only half of a progress. Better suited to my needs than Python, but too far away from the developer experience I was enjoying when doing Elm in the frontend. So I gave Rust a try.
Data classes are one of the new features of Python 3.7. With data classes you do not have to write boilerplate code to get proper initialization, representation and comparisons for your objects.
The Python logging module comes with the standard library and provides basic logging features. By setting it up correctly, a log message can bring a lot of useful information about when and where the log is fired as well as the log context such as the running process/thread.
Ok, so “hate” is a strong word, but hopefully this click-baits enough folks into reading this article with a clearer, more rational and unbiased demeanor than what the title suggests.
First off, a short review of lists (which are usually called “arrays” in other programming languages): Often seen as a part of functional programming in Python, list comprehensions allow you to…
Python decorators are a useful but flawed language feature. Intended to make source code easier to write, and a little more readable, they neglect to address another use case: that of the programmer who will be calling the decorated code. If you’re a Python programmer, the following post will show you why decorators exist, and how to compensate for their limitations. And even if you’re not a Python a programmer, I hope to demonstrate the importance of keeping in mind all of the different audiences for the code you write.
Understanding decorators is a milestone for any serious Python programmer. Here’s your step-by-step guide to how decorators can help you become a more efficient and productive Python developer.
