I happen to agree, Ive been working on it for the past year and its sort of killed my drive to work with something 'big' again.

That being said Barbican is quite good, which I think is due to its proof of concept being written in Go[1] before being ported.

If you want to learn decent testing Openstack is a good example, the code as a whole not so much. This also only applies if you want to use unittest or their custom test module, testtools. py.test is a much nicer way to do testing IMO

I still don't get it why they only write in Python (Horizon also has Less, JS) However a lot of code would be way cleaner / clearer when they wouldn't use Python that much. Especially when looking at Horizon. They use Django mainly to use Django, they nearly need nothing from Django at all. The most things they did were quite hacky. I mean horizon is full of magic to do really simple things. And especially a lot of code got glued together over time..
