This is interesting. With more Python time in Guido's hands maybe Py 3.0 is a bit closer... :-)
I don't know if this is a silly idea: A small part of the wealth of a modern state is probably determined by the software it uses/produces, and a small part of this software is open source or free. This free sofware is used by a lot of people, and they probably use it to work too, etc. For a modern government, paying a salary to few (20?) very good open source programmers can make the whole society "earn" maybe 10 or more times that money... (The money given from EU to PyPy can be an example of this). Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
