We mentioned GeoDjango last April. Now Django 1.0 has just been released and it includes the GeoDjango component.
Here's the Django Wikipedia page. Geoblogger Sean Gillies has a recent post named Django on Jython.
The Slashdot Django 1.0 summary: "Finally, the stable version 1.0 of Django (one of the most popular free Python based frameworks) has been released. Explained in the project blog, this achievement was in part due to the great users and developers community of the Django project, and recall the big effort with numbers like 4000 commits and 2000 bugs fixed since last stable version. Django is 'The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines.' You can dive in by reading the overview."
Slashdot discussed this summer the book Pratical Django Projects.

Industry: NY Times Launches 'Represent' Mapping Tool Using Open Source
[+]
Both clever elephant and Map Hawk discuss the new New York Times webmapping tool called "Represent" which tracks people representing New Yorkers: "Using your address as a starting point, Represent figures out which political districts you live in and who represents you at different levels of government. It draws maps that show how where you live fits into the political geography of the city. And using information collected from around the Web, it presents a customized activity stream that tracks what the people who represent you are doing."
Amongst the interesting bits, the tool is based on open source geospatial software: PostGIS, GeoDjango, GEOS, GDAL and more.
