This list has been very quiet, which I think is just fine. I've
floated a hypothesis that legitimizes our retirement:

However, please do keep posting news items here.  It's valuable
to have a place to post news of Python's triumphs.

Finally, if you care about Python, please consider donating to
the Python Software Foundation.  We're protecting Python legally,
funding Python-related development with grants, and -- believe it
or not -- have a credible (funded) python.org redesign effort
under way.

Details on the PSF are here:

You can donate by check, credit card, or paypal.

Sorry, I'm going to have a tendency to become Annoying Man on the
donate-to-the-PSF issue, as we try to take the grants program
from its current fledgling state to significant force in Python's
development.

Just to give some ideas:  If 10% of all Python programmers each
gave $10/year, we'ld have a $750,000/year budget.  So your
donations do potentially go a long way!

Thanks,
