What’s New in 3.2 Make project_dir a local variable so that cdproject does not interfere with other variables the user might have set. (contributed by slackorama) Fix typo in documentation reported by Nick Martin. Change trove classifier for license “MIT” to reflect the license text presented in the documentation. This does not indicate a change in the license, just a correction to the expression of that intent.

What’s New in 3.1 Fix a problem with activation hooks when associating a new virtualenv with an existing project directory. Fix a problem with add2virtualenv and paths containing “special” characters such as &.

I joined DreamHost about four weeks ago on Feb 6. and am on the team building a cloud hosting service based on the open source project OpenStack. I spent the first couple of weeks at the new job doing the usual sorts of new-hire activities: reading a lot of documentation and learning my way around the development environment and tool chain. I’ve done a little bit of work on some internal code already, and I recently had a good opportunity to start working on OpenStack itself.

What’s New? Use docutils as a library instead of shelling out. Switch from BeautifulSoup to pyquery. Add tags directive to specify the tags or categories for a new post.

When you’re writing code to search a database, you can’t rely on all those data entries being spelled correctly. Doug Hellmann, developer at DreamHost and author of The Python Standard Library By Example, reviews available options for searching databases by the sound of the target’s name, rather than relying on the entry’s accuracy. Searching for a person’s name in a database is a unique challenge. Depending on the source and age of the data, you may not be able to count on the spelling of the name being correct, or even the same name being spelled the same way when it appears more than once.

Today starts the countdown to a the start of new phase of my career. After working at Racemi for just over ten years, I have decided that it is time to move on to new challenges. Starting next Monday, 13 February, I will be a “Senior Cloud Developer” for Dreamhost. Ten years is a long time to be with one group of developers, and leaving Racemi was not an easy decision.
