TurboGears and Pylons finally merging
This has been a long time coming, and fans of both projects have been eagerly waiting for it, but it's finally happened. Not sure if you've seen the announcements from Kevin Dangoor, Mark Ramm and Ben Bangert on their projects' mailing lists, but basically they boil down to "we feel like after the sprints at PyCon we made enough progress so that we can pull the trigger on merging the source code from the 2 projects in one common trunk." They make it sound like it was purely a technological problem, but I have my doubts about that. I think it was driven in part by the increasing popularity of Django. Unifying TurboGears and Pylons is a somewhat desperate measure to chip away at the Django market share. We'll see if it works or not. Check out the brand new page of the TurboPylons project.

An April's Fools joke is only good if it outrageous
this actually would make sense to do
but... it does increase the fool factor ;) Had me going for a few mins. Nice one.
Oh dear, a bad case of TurboPiles - sounds painful.
It is about time that Python fractured market to crystalize
