Yes, definitely. Great idea, thanks for doing this. > - What format(s) would be most useful to you (e.g. spreadsheet, pdf, web > page(s), database, wall chart, desktop background)? I would vote for html/web pages with pdf as an option (i.e. a link), if you find it easy enough to make. This probably means you would like to have the source in a form that allows generation of both pages and pdf without much trouble. In this case, it seems there are more than few options to choose from. Perhaps in a form of Python code doing the job, with data in hashtables? That would be so Pythonish :-). > - Are there other aspects/pages that you'd like to see included? > - Do you know of source(s) for which versions of CPython supported which > operating systems (e.g. the first and last Python release that works on > Windows 98 or Mac OS 9)? The best I've found so far is PEP 11 Nothing comes to my head ATM.
