Proposal: Moratorium on Python language changes
,----[ Quote ]
| The main goal of the Python development
| community at this point should be to get
| widespread acceptance of Python 3000. There
| is tons of work to be done before we can be
| comfortable about Python 3.x, mostly in
| creating solid ports of those 3rd party
| libraries that must be ported to Py3k before
| other libraries and applications can be
| ported. (Other work related to Py3k
| acceptance might be tools to help porting,
| tools to help maintaining multiple versions
| of a codebase, documentation about porting
| to Python 3, and so on. Also, work like that
| going on in the distutils-sig is very
| relevant.)

Moratorium for Python 3
,----[ Quote ]
| Guido von Rossum, author of the Python
| programming language, has proposed freezing the
| grammar and semantics of the language for a
| "period of several years". By doing so, von
| Rossum is hoping to facilitate the move from
| Python 2 to Python 3.

Make a Python game in minutes with Gloss
,----[ Quote ]
| In this tutorial, I'm going to walk you through what it takes to
| make a simple game with Pygame + Gloss. All the code is already
| written (and I think you'll find it very short!) so it's just a
| matter of explaining to you what it does and why. We used Linux
| (naturally), but both Pygame and Gloss should work fine on Windows
| too - make sure you have Pygame, Python OpenGL and Gloss
| installed, and if you're on Linux you'll also need the Numpy
| Python module.

The current state and future of Python
,----[ Quote ]
| So what does python have to offer? It is a nice mix of procedural
| programming, object oriented and functional. That is what I love about it.
| It allows you to work in a mix of all three. It also seems that it is made
| by a bunch of people that understand that while flexibility is important
| (Perl code) you have to be able to READ and UNDERSTAND something written by
| another human being. One way python does this is by forcing you to indent
| your code. This may seem stupid to some but readability goes WAY up, when
| something is consistently indented the same way. Another way they make it
| easier to read than other languages is by making it more like natural
| language, the language is more verbose than your average language but not as
| bad as something like BASIC.
