lost-theory··on Python Web Programming
Here's a newer one, from the pylons team:

lost-theory··on In Manhattan Pizza War, Price of Slice Keeps Dropping
This episode of Internets Celebrities is entertaining and relevant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QE96FAWX4M :)
lost-theory··on FBI, stumped by pimp's Android pattern lock, serves warrant on Google
They want to know the subscriber's SSN, the person who owns the phone. He said the phone belonged to his sister.
lost-theory··on Shovel: Rake for Python
Right now it seems more comparable to argparse than Rake or fabric. The server part is neat, but a lot of my fabric tasks would probably time out in the browser (unless this can run tasks in the background, async).
lost-theory··on Inner-platform effect
If you put your constraints in the database schema, then you check for errors on insert/update/etc., like you said, with try-catch.

If you put your constraints in the application code, you usually have some validation layer that the data passes through before sending it to the DB.

It's common to have validation live both in the DB and in the app code. The constraints in the app code are for catching and displaying errors up front and display them to the user (e.g. on a form), while the DB constraints are used as a last line of defense to ensure data integrity.

Nullege is still great search engine for python code.

lost-theory··on Bottle: Single-File Python Web Framework
I used bottle for one project, but switched to Flask for everything once it was released. In my opinion the future is very bright for Flask (extensions, blueprints, community). The code and libraries it is built on top of are all extremely high quality.
lost-theory··on WikiMedia's Geo IP Lookup JSONP call
But that's not JSONP.
lost-theory··on Why is JSON so popular? Developers want out of the syntax business
It's not JSON-schema, but Rx is a schema validation tool for JSON/YAML/etc. that works with many languages:

lost-theory··on DotCloud Pricing Announced
One thing that seems to be missing: how many different apps can you deploy under each level? Do you count the services per-app? If I want to deploy 10 separate python apps, would I have to use the enterprise level?
lost-theory··on Show HN our weekend project: an email based productivity log
Getting an error after registration:

NoReverseMatch at / Reverse for 'dailydone_calendar' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{'username': u'.....'}' not found.

edit: my username has a dash '-' in it, maybe your URL regex isn't catching it

edit2: also you shouldn't run with DEBUG on

lost-theory··on Crowd-sourced translation engine for Rails
Something similar: Transifex

Built with Django.

lost-theory··on Please fork, contrib & push Paython (Payments in Python) forward
One of the sad things about the Django community is that they create useful things that aren't usable outside of Django.
