Have you tried BlogPulse charts and graphs to track and analyze what’s behind the buzzwords?
Here is an example showing the keywords python, ruby, and wordpress (time-line is the past 6 months). Looks like the WordPress spike is beginning to fade, and I wonder what that means?
Here is another BlogPulse trend chart showing what everyone was talking about last week. Keywords/Phrases : Virginia Tech, Cho, gun control.
Now that we are on this topic, let me say that my deepest sympathy goes out to all the families affected by this horrific tragedy (mass murder, suicide); my prayers for peace and love continue unto God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, and I recommend that everyone read and meditate on Psalm 4 and Psalm 23 this week.

An unofficial Python Tutorial is at growing in the InfoGami wiki system. It has a nice layout and the code examples are easy to read. See for instance the section on Python Modules, or the Brief Tour of the Standard Python Library. I just really appreciate it when the page layout is so clean and easy to read, code examples sprinkled like spice — which makes this technical documentation for Python easy to study.

A few more cool things from Aaron Swartz… (the teenage wiz kid who co-wrote RSS 1.0) … Now there is web.py and a cool new wiki-blog-diff-thing called InfoGami

rawdog is an RSS feed aggregator… I looked at a few PHP based RSS libraries this morning and loaded a few of them up to try them out. Then found this Python based tool set which looks a little more powerful.
The project write-up says: rawdog is an RSS Aggregator Without Delusions Of Grandeur. Written in Python, it uses Mark Pilgrim’s feed parser to read RSS 0.9, 1.0, 2.0, CDF and Atom feeds. It runs from cron, collects articles from a number of feeds, and generates a static HTML page listing the newest articles in date order. It supports per-feed customisable update times, and uses ETags, Last-Modified, and gzip compression to minimise network bandwidth usage.
