I am looking for good End to End testing framework under python, where the tests can be written in python and managed in a comfortable way. I know there are many unit testing frameworks, but I am looking for bigger scope, something like test director with support for reports etc,where a whole system is under test.
You havent given any details so it is very difficult to know what specific product are you looking for.
Maybe robotframework suits your needs
I used zope.testing and it was very good for my need, but it's not so different from simple unittest.
There is a good comparative here. I guess most of the products cited are more of the unit testing kind. Not sure you will find what you look for.
The TTCN3 is a quite good test framework for black-box testing. The comercial tools are having lot of reporting stuff there. It is not in python.

Question is for programmers who have used Django and Flask for real projects.
What challenges do you face going to the Flask?
Interested in the situation when there may be unexpected difficulties (after using django).
Specific examples are welcome.
I tend to use Django for "big" projects and Flask for projects requiring less than a ~300 lines file.
The challenges in moving to Flask are in my sense to go look for the extensions for forms, mails, databases... When you need them, and referring to different documentations. But it is naturally the price of flexibility.
One of the key issue I have been facing was deployment with Fabric. I was used to deploy very quickly with django-fab-deploy and it tooks me a little bit of time to set up a comparable generic deployment solution for Flask.

Im looking for a game or challenge which is similar to RoboCode or Scalatron. I am not interested in challenges like Project Euler where i get points for solving a specific problem. I am looking for the direct competition. I am aware of http://sumost.ca/steve/games/ but sadly there are no python based projects. If you have any recommendations please share them with me.
And what about aichallenge?
Sponsored by Google, the type of competition that you search for, and loads of languages available.
They provide a sample application that works, and you have to increase your ant's intelligence by yourself.

Provided you post, I think you'll love it :)
BTW, found this on Hacker news yesterday
Why not play, code and find a job at the same time ^^
Scalatron has a RESTFUL Web API https://github.com/scalatron/scalatron/blob/master/Scalatron/doc/markdown/Scalatron%20APIs.md#scalatron-restful-web-api
This means you could play using Python over the API.
I am also interested in this kind of game and have considered creating my own. I would rather let players play over a RESTFUL API to allow flexibility of playing with whatever language they choose.
As for using IronPython it seems this user had no luck: Robocode + Python

I'm getting ready to deploy an app to Heroku and I'm considering adding Loggly as a plugin. I love the idea of being able to aggregate and search my logs more easily, but I'm a bit concerned about what kind of performance hit I might take because of it. Any experiences (good or bad) out there with Loggly?
Just as a note: I'm using Python with Django 1.3
Just for future reference for people... I tried loggly out and was generally very pleased with them. While I never did any formal benchmarking tests (with our without them). Any performance issues were not noticeable to me.

I have built an answer engine using wikipedia's content with php. It just returns the most relevant wikipedia article for a particular query which in most of the cases turn out to be useles.The users tend to ask in a question format like "`what is the height of wayne rooney" and i want to give the exact height of rooney which is available in his wikipedia article. Can i solve this if i use nltk. Please advice.
in general: yes it is possible, BUT it is a very difficult task to build such a program.
what you are searching trying to build is called a 'semantic search engine' (see wikipedia) and there is a lot of research going on, how we can build a 'semantic web' and how to extract information of webpages, so that questions like the one you mentioned can be answered by computers, instead of just supplying links to relevant documents.
but the results are still far from perfect.
one of the better semantic search engines seems to be trueknowledge and of course the previously mentioned wolframalpha (which has its strengths in science).
if you really want to build such a semantic search engine the nltk might provide some helpful basic tools, but don't expect it to be an easy task at all.

Do you know of well designed open source applications that are instructive to analyse?
Of course this question is strictly related to this other post, but I am specifically interested in applications written in Python.
Django is a python package that is very nicely coded and designed.
Look in the Python Standard Library. It is a great wealth of python code. I particularly like this.py :)
Seriously though there is good code in the std library.
