Glad for the write-up, sorry I missed this.

I've been harping on 2.6 over on edu-sig, got a thread going.  Good
to have all those new format specifiers.

Andre has just reworded the page to encourage that version
or above for the 2.xers.

Also, I've been posting notes on the 2nd edition of Mathematics for
the Digital Age and Programming in Python, by Maria and Gary Litvin.
This is a hybrid math and computer science course, modeled after
Concrete Mathematics in some ways.  We could use more of this
kind of stuff in Oregon, someone tell Intel?  Phillips Academy, meet
Saturday Academy, eh?

PostgreSQL rocks.

Finally met up Rami Kassab of Thinktype, a local Python and Django
shop.

OK, to sleep, perchance to dream...
