You've already got a perfectly fine KVS built into the language.

I am using Scrapy a lot. http://scrapy.org/ It is very well designed web crawling library.

The Python module I learned to love this year is Click. Gets me better command line interfaces fast. URL is http://click.pocoo.org.

It does progress bars too...

No Python 3 support yet?

Could you name it?

Interesting list. I love Anaconda! A few years ago I tried to set up a Mac with a scientific computing stack and it took me days to hack my way through all the various dependencies and incompatible versions. Anaconda now lets me do that in a minutes.

Anaconda is very underrated, I use it both on my linux and mac systems. Also check out: Simple, Clean Python Deploys with Anaconda http://blog.stuart.axelbrooke.com/deployment-with-anaconda

This is probably what he meant:

$ py

Python 2.7.8 |Anaconda 2.1.0 (64-bit) ... on win32

>>> import bsddb

>>> print bsddb.__doc__

Support for Berkeley DB 4.3 through 5.3 with a simple interface.

For the full featured object oriented interface use the bsddb.db module instead. It mirrors the Oracle Berkeley DB C API.

Me too...I taught a python class by making everyone download Anaconda's distribution of 3.x...and everyone could do the assignments no matter what kind of computer they used. Anaconda does a little too much for me to have it be my own default install but it does quite well in on boarding beginners. I use pyenv to install maintain Anaconda on my own machine when I need to replicate student work

What does it do that ends up being a little too much for your use?

I really like lists like this. I get updates daily on which of my github friends (is that what they're called?) have starred and there is no real reason why they're following a project. I can look at the README and guess. I did see someone start following this project the other day https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-dsl-py, which seems pretty interesting. Has anyone used it?

unfortunately not yet, just tried it yesterday. There has been some progress but it looks like it might still take a while [1].
