The only one speculating is you. Everything I've read points to this idea of yours about GvR and Google being untrue. You have presented no evidence for your accusation, so given the evidence I have seen that contradicts you, I must conclude that you made it. That's the part I take issue with and why I stopped to feed the troll, much to the chagrin of everyone else. > We have a *RIGHT* to be worried Chris, because our livelihoods are > directly dependent on Python. I don't know who the "we" you're talking about is, but if your livelihood depends on Python's existence and development in a certain direction, then I suggest you hire GvR--that's what Dropbox did and they don't seem too worried about Python's future. Python's doing just fine, but you should be able to adapt to any programming language suitable for your job at hand. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
