Eben Moglen - Freedom in the Cloud

I am just embedding what many have already linked to. I recently saw Eben Moglen speak (not at the event below) but he talked about the same topics. Brilliant.

Python: MySQL & SSH

I needed to write some Python this Saturday and hack time is over for now so I'm documenting what I picked up. On vanilla Fedora 12 you can install the necessary packages with:

yum install MySQL-python 
yum install python-twisted python-twisted-conch

I then had what I needed to get Python SSH'ing into a server and talking to MySQL. Some examples:

• Python DB-API and MySQL
• Twisted is a networking engine written in Python
• Twisted.Conch code examples
• Fedora Python Packages
