The return of Hobbes

This is pretty intense: The Return of Hobbes:

In the film Fight Club, the real name of the protagonist (Ed Norton's character) is never revealed. Many believe the reason behind this anonymity is to give "Jack" more of an everyman quality. Do not be deceived. "Jack" is really Calvin from the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. It's true. Norton portrays the grown-up version of Calvin, while Brad Pitt plays his imaginary pal, Hobbes, reincarnated as Tyler Durden.

Python web framework shootout

Via Adam, The [Python] Web Framework Shootout

In the beginning for the Python web programmer there were two choices: Zope and the cgi module. On one hand you had a featureful but complex application environment, on the other a simple but featureless and low-level module. For a significant number of web applications Zope's features weren't helpful and the complexity daunting, but the alternative was discouragingly primitive.

In response to this a variety of web application frameworks have been developed in the last few years, often by developers who created a framework in the process of their own application development. I try in this paper to show the flavor of these alternatives, and to inform the developer that's trying to decide on a framework for their application.
