    Anyone use Python to add goodies to their BBSs? What're you working on?

    I just made a oneliner/wall called 'Half-Life Frequency' ...
    After several weeks the oneliners fade away (text gets garbled), but voting on the oneliners keeps them alive. The top voted oneliner stays at the top of them all.

    I also made a pretty nice 'Last 10 Callers' that shows if the user was new, posted, ul/dl'd or used the doors.

    Anyone have any projects?

    I made a really simple 1-page weather forecast viewer called WxReport in Python a while back. I could only get it to work with Python 2 though, as Python 3 would crash after the script completed, which seems to be a known issue when importing the requests library.

    I believe StingRay took it over and added some optimizations.
