QOTW: "[T]he essence of software development is code/task factorization."
Hung Jung Lu

Roger Binns
"SciPy 2004 ... was a great success."

"In recent months several posters on comp.lang.python have suggested
that Python would benefit from making it possible for people to
comment on the documentation, an approach similar to the PHP docs."
Andrew Kuchling didn't join the speculation on the desirability of

Magnus Lie Hetland launches a Wiki just to "chisel ... out a possible
standard API ... for graphs in Python." Notice that, by the end of
the thread, the Wiki is *not* temporary.

weak--weaker, at least, than true co-routines.

Is there a problem greenlets solve? Did Churchill and Fermi share
a speechwriter?

Alex Martelli makes the case that you, too, can readily learn
enough to be a time wizard.
