Good points, Greg.  Well, if someone's keeping
score--Barry?  Is there a place for that at
www.python.org?--a handful of others also impress
me:
1.  mod_python will soon take its
    place in Apache land (true,
    Greg?);
2.  Red Hat's installer is a Python
    application;
3.  Intel's adopted Python for its
    highest-profile extension
    language;
4.  Zope and Mailman's get good at-
    tention; and
5.  Bruce is starting to release
    chapters of *Thinking in Python*.

Wow.  Blessed are the cheesemakers.
