thirtyboxes.py -- a Python 30boxes.com API

30boxes.com is a nice web calendaring service, maligned somewhat by Joel Spolsky. I've been using Trumba for a while, but have now switched to 30boxes. So far I am pretty happy with the change. The "One Box" (any name for it would have been cheesy) is a great answer to the tedium of adding events quickly.

30boxes.com has started adding a web API as promised (it is read-only right now). I've cobbled together a Python binding to this API. I hope some folks find it useful. Please let me know if you love it, hate it, have problems with it, whatever.

$ python
>>> import thirtyboxes
>>> thirtyboxes.events_TagSearch("work")
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<rsp stat="ok">
<eventlist>
...'

work blog and ActiveState Software Inc

I have a work blog now. Mostly I'll be talking about ActivePython and Komodo there. Of course the big news is that we (ActiveState) are spinning out to be an independent company again. The close happened this week and now we are working on moving into our own space. This should be an exciting ride, er, drive (we are in control of our own destiny now).
