Python blogs that you regularly follow?

I'm new to Python, from a .Net background, and am looking for advice on who's blogs I should follow? Which sites are good ones to subscribe to?

In .Net I follow codebetter.com, lostechies and a bunch of individual thought leaders. I'm looking for the same thing in the Python world. I need influence and inspiration.

Thanks for sharing your favorites.

Answer 1

The answer is already on SO and covers most of the blogs that you would want to follow.

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/152480/python-blogs-that-you-regularly-follow

Among people, it has to be at least

• http://neopythonic.blogspot.com/

Also a moin page that lists some of known writers on Python language and things pythonic.

• http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonWriters

Some of them that I follow regularly:

• David Mertz: http://gnosis.cx/publish/tech_index_cp.html
• Steve Holden: http://holdenweb.blogspot.com/
• Doug Hellmann : http://blog.doughellmann.com/
• As said in reply below: Alex Martelli

Answer 3

I'd follow Alex Martelli here on SO. I've gotten some great insights into the language by reading his answers.

I'm also a fan of Doug Hellman's PyMOTW and Ian Bicking.
