spo0nman writes "The PythonOnPlanes release team has just published PythonOnPlanes-1.3.07 aka. 'the SuperSunday' release. For those in the know PythonOnPlanes is a rapid development framework for Python which uses commonly known design patterns like ActiveRecord, Association DataMapping, Front Controller and MVC. Our primary goal is to provide a structured framework that enables Python users at all levels to rapidly develop robust web applications, without any loss to flexibility.'Major highlights in the release include Active Scrum Manager 1, Sanity Preserver 3.13 and Lart 22.21. This is also the first release with the *PythonOnPlanes Live CD Installer* officially debuting on the x86 platform.'"

These aren't funny anymore.

Seriously.

Re:

[undeaf (974710)]

After however times they've done this, the only way they could pull an april fools joke is by tricking people by not putting up any fake stories. Instead, post stories that sound fake but really aren't.

Or... post serious stories, but have all the links go to the wrong articles. Maybe have them all go to the same site, so that it gets slashdotted extra severely.

When were they funny?

[spoco2 (322835)]

You speak the truth.

I mean... gah! I know it's April fools (actually, it's been and gone in Australia), but my god how many piss poor jokes can one website take?

I come to Slashdot to enjoy some geeky news and stories of interest, not be bombarded with poor joke after poor joke, all of which are retreads of the same poor jokes we've had year after damn year.

Not this year.

[Pinball Wizard (161942)]

This has been about the worst April Fools Day ever. Partly because its Sunday, but the jokes on Slashdot and Google this year are about the most unfunny, unprankable ones ever.

Yawn...ZZzzzzz

[shish (588640)]

I'm not the only person who keeps adding a "g" after "python" :O

Does anyone have any idea why I do this though? I am suspecting something to do with keyboard layout... Or maybe it's freudian, and I'm just thinking of thongs :-/

I would be surprised if there isn't a library out there called pyThong.

I've always been a fan of Assembly on Acid, or C++ on Cocaine. PHP on XTC works pretty well, too.

So you're one of the guys who makes the PHP code that looks like somebody was just caressing the keyboard...

Doesn't all PHP look like that?

In Perl, you just hold down the shift key while you caress the top row. :-)

[mysticgoat (582871)]

You had Cobble Stones???

Shoot, we had to make do with Fortran on Feet. And we had to hand carry our Holloriths, too. Seventeen flights of stairs from the punchcard stations to the cardreader, through waist deep snow, and uphill both ways.

Hee, hee... I remember when Crazy Dave started saving all the chad from the bitbuckets of the cardpunch machines. After about a month he had this huge bag of microconfetti, and one afternoon when the Admin had his back to us (rethreading the backup highspeed tape machin

Prank or Dis?

[ameoba (173803)]

This looks more like a dig at the RoR "wow, it's all so simple, I'm 1000x more productive than I have ever been in my life" hype than just a prank.

Here's an idea

[e9th (652576)]

Spread these articles throughout the entire month of April. The first one to give them an aprilfools tag gets a free /. subscription.

Re:

[Crudely_Indecent (739699)]

It's not April 2nd yet? I was hoping for some news...

Wait for the dupes :-)

What I really like about slashdot

[marcelk (224477)]

What I really like about slashdot is that every year they manage to sneak in one subtle, carefully crafted April's Fool joke amid all of the reagular stories. Their prank blends in very well almost unnoticable, unless for the the prepared or critical reader. If you're not alert, you're made to believe something totally outrageous. Subtlety, careful avoidance to reference the actual date, and not ruining the joke by overdoing it: that is the real April Fool's spirit! I thank slashdot for honoring this tradation.

What the flying hell is that "Slashdottit!" box doing next to the articles. It doesn't display correctly in Safari (unless you like the left letters missing in a paragraph), and it's spelled Slashdot Tit. ...Slashdot.... Tit....

Whomever is to blame for this... tie him up and make him squeal like a pig. In either case, can someone tell me how to diable it? Thanks...

April fool's day isn't anywhere near as much fun

[JumperCable (673155)]

It's no where near as much fun when you know just about everything put out in all the media is a joke. It kind of sucks when you aren't in the mood for it. I kind of love the holiday. But the point is to actually fool some people. It's not going to happen when everything that comes out is BS.

Plan the one good joke. Not a 100 lame @ss ones.

How long after this post will this be a real development framework?

[Brett Buck (811747)]

I hate April Fool's day. Most of these weren't even momentarily funny.

        I hate to think this is what passes for wit among the "I'm scared of girls and I live in my Mom's basement crowd", but I fear that it does.

See, this is what happens when you put a couple hundred people in an enclosed space with a bunch of programming languages.

This joke brought to you by Mr Spo0nman :)

[Gopal.V (532678)]

Omg this stuff hit slashdot ? OMG OMG !

But before we panic and look at the bandwidth bills, let me congratulate the perverted genius of Mr spo0nman [livejournal.com] (and KingDiamond [puneruby.com], indirectly). All in all, I think Yahoo! deserves the most credit for boring the hell out of us "cheap indian labour" to make things like this worth our time ;)
