It's doubly good time for a Python meet-up. Firstly, Django's Jacob
Kaplan-Moss is in town. If I can coax him into speaking, I will.
Secondly, what with the release of the Google App Engine, I expect a
big increase in interest in Python in general.

reading the code, you can't help but get the impression of writhing
tentacles and impossible angles.' - Robert Kern
QOTW: The posts do share an erroneous, implied assumption that the
investment in learning each language is equal. Python has a strong
competitive advantage over Java and C++ in terms of learnability. A
person can get up to speed in a few days with Python. - Raymond Hettinger
You know, this is

and arrogant question, and someone else answers in a calm and reasonable
way. - Gustavo Niemeyer

fancy IDEs and non-standard features go... and a huge

Python's flavor of OO is perfectly valid and usable, even though it
doesn't follow the Java Holy Bible of Object Orientation
QOTW: The security 'droids have decided that since the MS Office Suite is a
'standard' application then software written in MS Office VBA must be 'safe.'
Any other development environments (such as Java, Perl, Cygwin) are 'unsafe'
and can't be installed. - Peter Olsen
There's nothing wrong with
QOTW: Sure, but what about the case where his program is on paper tape and
all he has for an editor is an ice pick? - Grant Edwards
And in this case, you get improved usability *and* improved speed at the
same time. That's the way it should be. - Fredrik Lundh
The Simplest Possible
