Brian #1: Correcting Documentation for a Deployed Python Package

  • "A clever way to release new documentation without releasing a new package that might confuse your user base.”
  • Upload changes to pypi without bumping the version by using post release version numbers: 0.3.2 => 0.3.2.post1
  • Prevent documentation issues by using restview --long-description before uploading. (or use md and really any md converter)

Michael #6: Vibora web framework

  • A new speedy web framework
  • Only 14 days old, but has 21 contributors and 2k stars
  • Just like Flask: Vibora APIs were heavily inspired by the awesome Flask.
  • Schemas validation, template engine, sessions and many more features were written from scratch to provide great performance along with an elegant async interface.
  • Vibora also take advantage of multiple CPU cores by default thanks to the multi-processed architecture. Uvloop and other C speed-ups are used when available.
  • Virtual Hosts: Maybe you have different domains and you want to host them all with a single Vibora application.
  • Deployment has its own HTTP app server
  • Docs need help
