Mistakes happen. There is nothing on pypi that is all that important. If there were anything important that is loss, the responsibility is mine, and mine alone, for not having proper backups. This gives me the opportunity to share some photos of the Dow Memorial in Midland Michigan. Rebecca and I stumbled upon it on our September trip this year. Herbert H.

I think you will find these pictures inspiring: http://leoeditor.com/DowQuote1.JPG http://leoeditor.com/DowQuote2.JPG http://leoeditor.com/DowQuote3.JPG This attitude has made Dow Chemical a world leader, and not coincidentally, it has made Midland Michigan a garden city: http://leoeditor.com/DowMemorial.JPG http://leoeditor.com/DowGardens1.JPG http://leoeditor.com/DowGardens2.JPG So chin up, learn from your mistakes, and carry on.
