Sightings:
- Python 1.6 alpha 2 is out! Lots of bug fixes, changes to the windows installer, and more. Expect a third alpha within two weeks or so. http://www.python.org/1.6/
- On a related note: argumentclinic.py (see DN606780882)
- Python Wins Jolt Productivity Award: http://www.sdmagazine.com/sdonline/jolts/joltopen.html
- Linux Journal: Python Programming for Beginners http://www2.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue73/3946.html
- Remember the slightly misleading 1.6 release note we pointed to last week? Turned out that Guido didn't do it -- or at least that's what he says: (see DN605330122) (see DN606107926)
- In fact, Greg Ward claims he did it. And you know what? He might be right -- after all, who else would use the word "frob" sixteen times in a single post? (see DN606237127)
- On the other hand, we keep hearing rumors that Greg is just a scapegoat, and that the real story is that Barry has found a portal into Guido's head: http://www.lfw.org/jminc/Guido%20Van%20Rossum/http://www.python.org/
- Or whatever... http://metalab.unc.edu/Dave/Dr-Fun/df200004/df20000406.jpg
