If you want to review our coding standards and -quality, we invite you to take a look at our open-source software which is available as eGenix mx Base distribution. Our commercial (non-OSS) products have been in use by many large companies around the world for years. They have also been integrated into several top-selling products, such as the Inktomi Ultraseek search engine or the IBM OmniFind Enterprise Search line of products.
Over the years we have helped quite a few companies develop Python-based solutions and products. As example, we've been working with Point Nine Financial Technologies, London, and helped them develop a very flexible, yet complete and fast time-to-market financial trading system based on Python.

The "mx Tools" were originally written for the eGenix Application Server, a framework suitable to implement large-scale web applications in Python. The results of the research going into this software are still working out well today and have been used successfully in several projects.
