But it has Zope in its name!!!111!! ;-)

It's best to keep object records small when using ZODB. This does mean you need to do some planning about object structure. Objects that inherit from "persistent.Persistent" are ke…

It does not unpickle every time you get something from cache. It maintains a first-level in-memory LRU per-thread object cache which is the actual Python object (not its pickle rep…

The pragma wouldn't really work. It'd have to work in all old versions of Python to make any sense, and it doesn't. For unicode literals in particular, it should just be true in Py…

Amen, 2to3 in practice for anything but the smallest library is effectively unusable due to speed. Even if it weren't, I'm not much of a fan of maintaining generated code. That's a…

Bottle and Flask actually allow for this too. Bottle's variant: @route('/hello/:name', method='GET') def hello_get(name): return 'Hello %s' % name @route('/hello/:name', method='PO…

In a more traditional Pyramid app it would be done more like: from pyramid.view import view_config from pyramid.response import Response from paste.httpserver import serve @view_co…

Comments with critical, dogmatic hyperboles in them like this drive me nuts in general. Here are the hyperboles in this comment with the translations to normal English. - "saddled …
