Pylons is now called pyramid. I don't know how much it changed?

I prefer pylons above Django. Simply because it feels less like a framework.

All of the controllers stuff was replaced with the code formerly known as repoze.bfg

While Pyramid is Pylons' appointed successor, the code is mostly from the repoze project, with changes to make it more familiar to Pylons users: http://docs.pylonsproject.org/en/latest/faq/pyramid.html

What you are saying about someone else's code is true, but being able to read code and understand what is going on is a skill that is worth its weight in gold.

Being the one who can dive into someone else's code and sort out the problems or make the needed changes can earn you tons of respect - especially if everyone else saw the code and ran for the hills. (and money in some cases)

I am doing something like that. Look at the zoomed in graph, there you will see the more connected packages are further away from the rim.

Maybe I can give more connected packages a larger angle to occupy?

I agree. The graph on the site is already processed a bit, but not enough.

Can you make any suggestions as to how I can make it better?

The graph was partially motivated by the experience of compiling a few open source projects in windows. In Gentoo it's not "dependency hell".

Why didn't you call it something non-controversial like "A visualisation of open-source software dependencies" instead of "A nice picture of (dependency) hell", then?

Sensationalism? If you would like a post with a less controversial name, have a look at "High resolution dependency graph".

Sorry if you felt cheated by the title :)

The obvious answer is that the former would not generate nearly so much interest/clicks/attention.
