Dr. Dobb's Python-URL! - weekly Python news and links (Feb 24)

QOTW: "Who's 'Guido'?" -- Ilias Lazaridis

"I know this document. It has no relevance to me." -- Ilias
Lazaridis, on <URL: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html >

"Nobody asked them to do this (AFAIK), it's more that nobody could
_stop_ them from doing it." -- timbot, on the work of Jason Tishler
and Andrew MacIntyre with Cygwin and OS/2 EMX, respectively
Hot off the virtual press: Py2.4 Quick Reference:

For a decade now, confident people have declaimed in
managers' meetings and conferences that {local,Web}
applications are {dead,utterly triumphant}, in all
combinations (and sometimes at the same venues) (and
sometimes by the same people!) (although not by the
same people at the same time). Real Programmers know
they need judgment and expertise on both sides. The
principal implications for Python: client-side Web
scripting is one of the few domains where Python is
*not* nearly ideal (although not for technical reasons);
but the best "Weblications" still can result from co-
operation between Python and other languages:

on imaplib, and, more generally, network programming:

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.

While cosmetically similar, Mygale and the Daily Python-URL
are utterly different in their technologies and generally in
their results.
