[python-uk] hexagonal Django

[Hansel Dunlop]

You know, if you started writing a stand alone module called pythonanywhere
that has no dependencies and was imported and used by Django, Tornado, and
any of the other bits and pieces I think you might find a *few *things to
put in there...

Not that I have any knowledge of that code base, of course ;-)
