I don't think there was any official announcement, but it's true -- he sits about 15 meters away from me;-). > I was just thinking that the open source offerings from google are > actually pretty pitiful - considering the time investment they have put > into developing software systems. (Summer of Code not-withstanding of > course). The key technical person for opensource at Google isn't Guido and isn't me -- rather, I'd focus on Greg Stein (whose contributions to open source have been very wide-ranging, and who's been our engineering manager for opensource for quite a while now... not a secret, you can read about that on Greg's own blog). If you want more opensource from us, he's most probably the best person to bug about it!-). I'm sure that, being the chairman of the Apache Software Foundation (the VP of the ASF is also a Google employee), he can bend your ears about that;-). > I wonder if this heralds google finally upgrading from Python 2.2 ;-) We currently use multiple versions of Python, and I personally don't see that changing overnight. But, we'll see. Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
