Actually it's "van Rossum, Guido", not "Rossum, Guido van". The "van" is
part of the family name, not a middle name. It's like "da Vinci,
Leonardo" or "von Sydow, Max". On one occasion Guido complained that
Americans always get his name wrong.
Thank you for the correction. I was going by an old book (1996) he
co-wrote that just had 'Rossum' on the spine. I guess that must have
been done without consulting him and must have annoyed him.
