I just read an interesting post over on highscalability.com. There is an early stage open source project called Pyshards that provides database sharding for Python developers. It's interesting to see sharding toolkits emerge for languages other than Java.
I've been working extensively with database sharding for around 9 months now and it's an exciting area of technology that offers a very cost-effective way to implement near-linear database scalability using commodity hardware.
