Abstract

Doing a website in Django is easy, but how
about building a DVCS hosting site with it? Django fits a wide variety
of purposes, and was molded to suit Bitbucket's purpose while
remaining (somewhat) idiomatic. This talk is about the lessons we
learned in going from a few hundred users, to now over 100.000 active
ones, being acquired, introducing non-Pythonistas to Django, and
having to maintain and develop everything meanwhile.
