Python in the Browser – brought to you by Microsoft?

Who would have guessed that MS would be the first to really put python in the browser? I know you can jump through hoops to make a browser support python but it was not something you could do for a public website.

There have been a bunch of announcements in the past couple of days about IronPython and SilverLight — will they beat firefox?
Personally, I’m giddy about the prospect of using Python instead of javascript.  John Udell’s blog entry tonight specifically mentions
that exact combination.

Finally, things are starting to get exciting again.

PyCon: Talk to people.

Ned Batchelder blogged some good PyCon advice tonight, “Talk to people.” I completely agree with him on that point.

This was my second PyCon and I spoke to a vastly larger group of people than I did when I attend PyCon 2002. While I did say Hello to a number, the one real conversation I had was with Tim Peters. This year I wasn’t the least bit shy about introducing myself and talking to others. I met a number of great people who just happen to be excellent pythonistas. There was Chris and Ted from ChiPy, Alvin from San Francisco, Christian Tismer, Mark Ramm, Michael Foord, Alex, Ben, Doug (nice job on the pycon schedule) and many, many more. I’ll be blogging about a number of these conversations as time goes on.

ExoTagging with SQLAlchemy

ExoTagging
After listening to the wonderful things being said about SQLAlchemy at PyCon, I wondered if the following idiom could be implemented as a Domain Object with SQLAlchemy.

Often we have legacy data that we have read only access, to which we need to associate additional meta information. Before this has always meant that the application had to be aware of the relationship of the meta data record in the ExoTagging DB and how to map it to the legacy read-only data. If we could map the two into a single Domain Object it would make are apps a lot cleaner. I spoke to Mark Ramm and he believed that it would be possible and in fact it might even be easy although he hadn’t attempted it before.

I call the idiom ExoTagging because it is logically quite like the idea of Tags, except that tags are kept in a table that resides in a database that is separate from the data that is being tagged. Hence Exo-Tag.

Has anyone else already implemented something like this with SQLAlchemy, if so would you mind sharing your experiences?
