verbose python tracebacks

Just import nice_traces; if you're feeling fancy, then consider trace(sys.exc_info())

verbosity controls on logging

See trac_helper.py

pythonic relations

See my relation module and Alloy (which was my inspiration, though I've made nothing more than a poor knockoff).

relational error logging

See trac_helper.py and collect-pkgs.py.

email-based error reporting

See email_warnings.py.

rpm makefiles

See rpm-packaging as well as individual projects like [1] along with my Fedora packaging bibliography.

pymeta parser-based controllers

triagebot is based on a model-view-controller architecture where the controller object is assembled at runtime based on data collected with a metaclass.
