Looking for interesting and instructive python code (web programming)

Question

I'm learning python and my current focus is on web programming. Thx to some help from stackoverflow, I recently made some reasonable progress. While still at basic level, I can now "somewhat" comfortably use html templates, web frameworks (haven't done anything significant yet), sqlite (no mySQL yet), etc.

Before I start another project, I'd like to review some interesting/instructive code (web UI). I have been searching at all the normal places but this process is very hit or miss.

If anyone has code and/or links to code that they believe would help me further my education, I would be most appreciative if they would post here.

As an aside, I have started using the twitter APIs (easy/fun source of a ton of data) - so any code that fits the bill and uses Twitter is a bonus.

Thx!!

Update: to be clear, I'm looking more for examples like: http://code.reddit.com/ (source code for reddit). This example is beyond my abilities but is interesting nonetheless.

Answer 1

http://www.diveintopython.org/

Dive Into Python has been freely available for a while now. Great starting point.

Answer 2

Here are some good places to start:

Django source
Django resources

Answer 3

Have a look at Trac, there's some pretty instructive code in there. Just don't try to understand how its component architecture works underneath on your first read ;-)

Answer 4

Maybe not that elegant to use as django, but definitely worth a look because of clever use of the Python language: webpy

Just one of the many praises on its web site:

"Guido [van Rossum, creator of Python], you'll probably find that web.py best suits your style. ... If you don't like it, I can't imagine which of the other dozens of frameworks out there you would like." - Phillip J. Eby, creator of the Python Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI)

Answer 5

The code from the excellent book Programming Collective Intelligence can be found here:

Answer 6

Some code that I'm looking:

From Django Practical Projects book, the code(not complete) of the weblog: http://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/practical-django-projects/src/

Source of "Begginning Django E-Commerce" book: http://www.apress.com/resource/bookfile/4490

Source of Start The Dark web(I don't know what happened to the site): http://github.com/ericflo/startthedark

I hope it helps,

What about JaikuEngine

JaikuEngine is a social microblogging platform that runs on AppEngine.

This is the source code for jaiku.com and the code is first class.

Definitive a guide for python webdevelopment specially with app engine.
