<p><strong><a href="http://www.mongodb.org/">MongoDB</a></strong></p> Lots of discussions about this at EuroPython today—it’s a document database, very similar to CouchDB but significantly faster and suggested for production use. Best of all, trying it out on OS X is as easy as extracting the tarball and running “bin/mongod --dbpath /tmp/test-mongo-db run”. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/couchdb">couchdb</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/documentstore">documentstore</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/europython">europython</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/json">json</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/keyvaluestore">keyvaluestore</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/macos">macos</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/mongodb">mongodb</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/nonrelationaldatabase">nonrelationaldatabase</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/310/">Partial OpenID provider implementation from idproxy.net</a></strong></p> It’ll take a while to package up provider support for django-openid, but in the meantime here’s some partial, incomplete, poorly documented example code ripped from idproxy.net. Hopefully this will give people trying to figure out the JanRain Python library a bit of a leg up. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/europython">europython</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/europython07">europython07</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/idproxy">idproxy</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/openid">openid</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/partial">partial</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a></p>
