A Python Takeover
summary
Project case study of replacing PHP with Python to fix SourceForge core pages: chooses Django then TurboGears, tests CouchDB, MongoDB, Cassandra and MySQL, and benchmarks 10,000 reads/sec on a laptop; implements Apache/mod_python front ends, local replicas per server, and caching before discovering a memcached pickle slowdown on large records. Deliverable comes in six weeks for the download/browse flows, later expanded into the Allura platform with ticketing, VCS integration and search, and Python becomes the default language after the rollout succeeds.
