I haven’t given up on the projects that I’ve started recently. However, work has been pretty busy and looks to be getting busier. That means the jQuery Plugin Index, that I was in the midst of creating, has been stalled. I still *want* to do it. Very much so. However, I did notice that someone is working on PyPi for Google App Engine. If it gets fully implemented, I think it would be easy enough to fork that and adapt it.
In the meantime, my post on building python extensions in Windows has gotten a lot of attention. I hope it helps people out, but believe it or not, I still have trouble building certain extensions. It’s especially painful if the extension depends on a library that doesn’t have native Windows support. But hopefully, this cuts down on the need for running and maintaining a VM just so you can code fun stuff with Python.
