Hi, I'm Julien Danjou, a Free Software hacker for more than 16 years now. I wear a lot of different hats during that time, among them 14 years as a Debian developer, a Freedesktop contributor, a GNU Emacs committer, and the awesome window manager creator.
These last 10 years, I've been developing software using mainly Python. Four years ago, I started to work on OpenStack, a cloud platform written in Python, were I acted as a Project Technical Leader and Technical Committee Member. This project is made with more than 1 million lines of Python. That should tell you how I know about size and scalability issues.
“I bought this book some month ago and already recommended it to some friends. The book shares the experience of some long-time Python developers and introduce modern programming advice. Useful for anyone who already know Python and is interested in large Python project like OpenStack.”
Gonéri Le Bouder Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat
