A simple excerpt filter for use with Jekyll. Perhaps there are better ways but I couldn't find anything suitable. It extracts post content in between "<!-- excerpt start -->" and "<!-- excerpt end -->". Change the excerpt delimiters to suit your needs.

"""
This module represents a twist-ification of the pywws Weather Station.
There was nothing wrong with the original pywws version. I just wanted a

pyzmq problem using LAST_ENDPOINT sockopt
'''
I am trying to use a wildcard port in an effort to let the OS assign
an ephemeral port. I then try to ascertain the actual endpoint by
using the LAST_ENDPOINT socket option.
This is along the lines of the suggestion here: http://lists.zeromq.org/pipermail/zeromq-dev/2012-October/018915.html
However, this does not work for me. The output below is what I get
when I run this script:
