"I used to default to the widely-held position that 'language wars' are mostly
content-free 'religious' arguments, but experience has taught me otherwise.
There are big, important, differences in programmer efficiency, in
computer-resource efficiency, and in community support. And, to some extent,
in the ways they make you think about problems."
John J. Lee

Expect the Sprint(s) to be a highlight.

"An Introduction to the Twisted Networking Framework" is important,
because Twisted is important, and it's accurate, because Itamar

Everything Python-related you want is probably one or two clicks away in
these pages:

Python.org's Python Language Website is the traditional
center of Pythonia
http://www.python.org
Notice especially the master FAQ
http://www.python.org/doc/FAQ.html

PythonWare complements the digest you're reading with the
marvelous daily python url
http://www.pythonware.com/daily
Mygale is a news-gathering webcrawler that specializes in (new)
World-Wide Web articles related to Python.
http://www.awaretek.com/nowak/mygale.html
While cosmetically similar, Mygale and the Daily Python-URL
are utterly different in their technologies and generally in
their results.

comp.lang.python.announce announces new Python software. Be
sure to scan this newly-revitalized newsgroup at least weekly.
http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=d...ython.announce

Andrew Kuchling and Michael Hudson of intelligently summarizing
action on the python-dev mailing list once every other week.
http://www.python.org/dev/summary/
