Sessions at PyCon 2009 on Saturday 21st February

Building large systems on top of a traditional single-master RDBMS data storage layer is no longer good enough. This talk explores the landscape of new technologies available today to augment your data layer to improve performance and reliability. Is your application a good fit for caches, bloom filters, bitmap indexes, column stores, distributed key/value stores, or document databases? Learn how they work (in theory and practice) and decide for yourself.

This talks takes a look at the various options of migrating to Python 3, and takes up examples of some tricks you can do to make you code run unmodified under both 2.6 and 3.0.
