I found snack.py (a newt interface installed by default on Red
Hat systems) but haven't yet tried using it.

Does anybody have any opinions on snack vs python-newt?

(I assume that installing a debian package on a RH system isn't 
too painful.)

I finally got around to reading the current Linux
Journal (which just keeps getting better and better)
and lo! there was a picture of a familiar face I just
couldn't quite....

Oh no!  Could it be true?  I heard rumors but I refused to
believe them until now.  The glasses are gone!  Guido now
looks like an investment banker!  The sky is falling!

Next will probably be a Python 1.6 as a 27 Meg DLL, and
a Python IPO.  Well, maybe not.  Now that I look more
closely, he is wearing a black and white and mustard
(??MUSTARD) T-shirt which says "You Need Python".

At least we ought to make him wear a name tag at IPC8.
