Malcom Tredinnick gave an awesome presentation about the Django ORM.
The code for the ORM is located in django/db with juicy bits in the following locations:
django/db/models/query.py (public queryset API)
django/db/models/sql/* (Public API->SQL conversion. Deep dark internals. Does’t know DB, knows SQL)
django/db/backends/* (Individual DB wrappers, third-party wrappers possible. This is where you actually talk to the DB). See [...]

Languages that do not have native boolean data-types that let you branch on non-boolean data types evaluate all non zero values as “truthy”, (-1) evaluates to true. You might be wondering, as I did, why that is? The short version: it is a compiler optimization.
At first I thought it was a perl specific choice, [...]

The next release of Hadoop (0.18) will likely have Java6 has a requirement, thus forcing the Hbase project to adpot the same requirement. The current Hbase release is 0.12, and this will probably only affect 0.3, so it’s a ways off — just be ready.

I’m really about to geek out on you — I’m going to (complain) compare the Google App Engine configuration file (app.yaml) to the Django setting.py.
Simon Wilson of OpenID and django-openid fame wrote a post on logging in Django and got me thinking a long these lines.
App.yaml sucks. Why? Because it’s not really “pythonic” and [...]

The Django team has knocked off one of the milestones for the 1.0 release — Changeset 7477 merges the queryset refactoring effort into django-trunk.
The goal of the queryset-refactor branch was to add a layer of special sauce to the Django ORM and make it easier (possible?) to (among other things) have model inheritance.
Here is a [...]

Spock Proxy , developed at Spock.com seems like a mysql-proxy work-alike except that it makes sharding or horizontal partitioning of the database easy and transparent (or at least that is the idea).
