Hi everybody - I just noticed this thread. I'm the one that put together http://diggdot.us/. It was an exercise to learn the TurboGears framework. I've been a big user of Python for many years but had been doing my web development in PHP. Well, no longer.
I accidentally left my prod.cfg as single-threaded when I released it. So it wasn't able to handle the number of requests when it was on digg's front page. Once I realized it I set it to use a threadPool (of 10); it's been running great since then. I'm using the release version of TurboGears: 0.8a4 (which contains CherryPy 2.1 final). It's not caching anything right now - today I'm going to hook up the CacheFilter since the site is obviously a perfect candidate for caching. Content is updated only once every ten minutes. Thanks for all the work you guys have been putting into TurboGears. Jeff
