+1 - I think the source links are very useful (and thanks for pushing them). However I think the biggest changes that have probably happened with python itself are: (1) More users for whom this is their first language. (2) CS courses / training not teaching C (or pointer-based languages). (2) is especially important IMO - under half of the python developers I have regularly worked with would feel comfortable reading C - so for the other half reading C source code probably isn't going to help them understand exactly what's going on (although in the long run it might help them a lot) Tim Wintle -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
