Dr. Dobb's Python-URL! - weekly Python news and links (Mar 1)

Editor's note: "Python-URL!" is minimal. It doesn't support advertisements,
we never allow the subscribers' addresses to be used for other purposes, we
don't claim infallibility, and we even take a couple weeks off some years.
Occasionally, though--not as often as the US enters a shooting war, say,
but more frequently than IBM hires a new CEO--we pause for a sufficiently
important correction or announcement. This year, we apologize for
inexplicably changing Oliver Schoenborn's name a couple of weeks ago to
"Philip". Also, has anyone indexed Python bloggers (that is, webloggers
of things Pythonic)?
QOTW: "... more like generator included." -- Efrat Regev, on the proper
characterization of our language of choice

VOTW: Steves break ground on VOTWs. Notice the surrounding serious
discussions on what exactly makes for an improvement in the language.

All those calendrical/temporal things you need that the standard
datetime module doesn't supply? Gustavo Niemeyer supplies (most
of) them:

Laugh? Cry? Appeal to the UN? Not only can Python define "(almost)
arbitrary infix operators", but you can parametrize their production,
with "probably the best Python hack *ever*":

Python 3000 might be real, and relatively free of trauma:

Graybeard Steve Holden rambles through the sort of speech that
commentators usually take as a sign of breakdown. In this
case, though, the delivery has the virtues of: accuracy; and
relevance:

The state of the art of use of decorations continues to advance:

Pythoneers, too, can solve polynomials (although probably not without
obscure astronomical, linguistic, artistic, ... references):

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

are utterly different in their technologies and generally in
their results.
