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.

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:
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=605330122
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=606107926
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?

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:

Or whatever...
