It looks very cool, and the site is nicely put together. Just what Python needs. On initial evaluation I was surprised to find almost no test code. There are a few tests in one package, but no comprehensive unit test suite. Automated testing seems particularly important for the fiddly bits of code like your database caching system. It's also really valuable to have unit tests in an open source project; you're much less likely to get broken code if you require the tests pass. Adding unit tests after the fact feels like a lot of work, but the earlier you get a good test framework in place the easier it will be. And the sooner it pays off. Thanks for listening to my suggestion! Nelson | adrian | nelson@monkey.org | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
