Top Ten Articles of 2010

A lot of websites are doing year-end retrospectives this week, so I thought you might find it interesting to know which articles on this blog were the most popular this year. Below you will find links to each article along with the page view count I got from Google Analytics:

  1. A Simple Step-by-Step Reportlab Tutorial, 9,709 page views, posted 03/08/2010
  2. Another Step-by-Step SqlAlchemy Tutorial Part 1, 7,746 page views, posted 02/03/2010
  3. Another Step-by-Step SqlAlchemy Tutorial Part 2, 4,858 page views, posted 02/03/2010
  4. Manipulating PDFs with Python and pyPdf, 4,511 page views, posted 05/15/2010
  5. Python 101: Introspection, 4,473 page views, posted 10/14/2010
  6. wxPython: Grid Tips and Tricks, 3,476 page views, posted 04/04/2010

  9. wxPython and Threads, 3,183 page views, posted 05/22/2010

It would seem that SqlAlchemy and Reportlab are pretty popular topics. Are there any articles about either of these cool packages that you think I should write? As you can see, wxPython makes it into the top ten 3 times! What should I write about next regarding wxPython?

This upcoming year, I plan to write about some of the other GUI toolkits. Which one do you think I should do first? Tkinter, PySide, PyGUI or something else? What packages or standard libraries do you think I should cover? Feel free to let me know via the comments below or via my contact form (link at top). I’m looking forward to another year of Python tinkering and writing and I hope you are too! Thanks for your readership and encouragement this year!

  1. Love the blog…

    Here’s a few topic suggestions for the coming year, if you have time: PyQt, A Unit Testing Framework (your choice), and a Web Application Framework (possibly one utilizing Python 3.x if available)

    Keep up the good work!

  2. Hi Marius,

    Where did you get that information? I’ve never heard of PyGI! When I Googled it, I found this site: http://live.gnome.org/PyGI which states that PyGI has been merged with PyGObject. If you go to PyGtk’s website, it says the following about its latest release: “It provides an alternative installation method for PyGTK users on Windows and bundles PyGTK, PyGObject, PyCairo, PyGtkSourceView2, PyGooCanvas, PyRsvg”…very confusing…
