I believe I have worked out the segfault issues with Delancey, the service that augments del.icio.us to keep track of which bookmarks you click on the most. If you use Delancey and are still have random issues with it then please ping me.
On a related note, I spent a good part of the weekend starting to port Delancey over to Python using the Django framework. (Delancey is currently written in Perl on a custom framework I developed.) My first impressions of Django are very positive. I admire Django’s design philosophies and the framework seems to do just enough of what it should do, and does it well. I look forward to learning more about both Python and Django, and porting Delancey feels like a good place to start.

Fancied Django more than TurboGears huh. Interesting.

Nothing against TurboGears, of course.
I simply evaluated Django based on my particular needs for the Delancey port.
I liked the simple elegance of the Django data modeling and how well it inter-operates with arbitrary third-party bits. I want to do the port piecemeal, and in particular leave the JS code alone for now.
Since I’m such a novice at Python it was nice to pick a framework that immediately felt both comfortable and familiar, but didn’t require me to sell my soul to participate in the parts of the framework I was interested in.
(Not to imply TurboGears would require any of that, just that I could see that Django wouldn’t.)
