What should I use for the backend of a 'social' website?
My two main requirements for the site are related to degrees of separation and graph matching (given two graphs, return some kind of similarity score). My first thought was to use MySql to do it, which would probably work out okay for storing how I want to manage 'friends' (similar to Twitter), but I'm thinking if I want to show users r...

I'm wondering if there's an easy way to get the "denormalized" form of a combining unicode character in python? e.g. if I have the sequence u'o\xaf' (i.e. latin small letter o followed by combining macron), to get ō (latin small letter o with macron). It's easy to go the other way: ...
URLs and side effects (Django)
I'm wondering if it's considered okay (particularly, in Django) to have a URL that's only intended for actions with side effects, that's only intended to be accessed by POST, and that is basically invisible to the user. Let's say, for the sake of making this concrete, I have a little messaging system on my site, and from their inbox, a u...

Sending binary data over IPC from C to Python
Hi All I have a C program and a Python program on the same machine. The C program generates some data in nested structures. What form of IPC is the best way to get this data across to the python program?
