Ming 0.1 Released - Python Library for MongoDB

One of the things that's been nice about working with SourceForge for the last few months is the chance I get to work with new open source technology and contribute something back. Well, the first (in a long series, I hope) of projects we're putting out there as the result of recent work is a little library we wrote called Ming. It's been available over git for a while, but I just finished publishing our first "official" release, with a tutorial, over at http://merciless.sourceforge.net and http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Ming/0.1. Ming gives you a way of enforcing schemas on a MongoDB database in a Python application. We also throw in automatic, lazy schema migration for good measure.
