Wanted: Python White Papers

[noahspurrier at my-deja.com]

I found that Inktomi uses Python in their search engine product.
This is the Inktomi copyright acknowledgment page:
http://software-search.infoseek.com/help/copyright.html
It's on the infoseek domain, but I downloaded the
Inktomi search engine from their main site and it's Python...

Yours,
Noah
