Hello all, it was great to meet so many of you in person at Pycon, I only wish I had come to an earlier one!
I'm glad I was able to plug Twisted at Pycon. I do need to set the record straight, as I only realized today that I got a bit confused in my numbers. During my plug, I mentioned one of our twisted servers had served 100 billion queries. I'm afraid it was actually 1 billion,
Aw man, *only* a billion? ;-)
not one hundred. I think I was conflating it with another metric we were touting from our booth for recruiting purposes. Either that, or I'm just a nitwit :) Sorry for the mistake, once they get past a certain number of zeroes, I kind of lose track.
It was, nevertheless, a dramatic mistake. The point still holds.
The bottom line was, we were really impressed with Twisted's ability to make making robust servers easy.
Thanks.
I'm going to try to help out with twisted.enterprise some more. I think the most pressing issue there is the need to deprecate most everything outside of adbapi? Anyway, I'll start reading up on the new development model and hop on irc pretty soon.
I'm pretty sure there are also some edge-cases that aren't handled completely correctly in adbapi, although clearly they don't affect production systems terribly much :). Just have a look through the bugtracker for enterprise issues. And, thanks a _lot_. Even with the resources the foundation will be providing us, we're still going to have a shortage of qualified helpers :).
