I’ve bene running a Tor exit node in the Netherlands since August 2013. I believe in the cause of Tor and it was only a matter of time before I started adding code in some for or another.

Each web server log file per day is a couple of GB of data which can amount to a lot of log data that needs to be processed on a daily.

The problem is, that it requires us to return some generic null value for rows that are not interesting for us. This causes the intermediate files to contains a lot of unnecessary data that has the mapping of our uninteresting rows.

Just run the dev server under python 2.5 (i.e. python2.5 dev_appserver.py)
