pythonlabs.org   appears to be a name service issue:

> server a.root-servers.net
Default Server:  a.root-servers.net
Address:  198.41.0.4

> PYTHONLABS.ORG.
Server:  a.root-servers.net
Address:  198.41.0.4

Name:    PYTHONLABS.ORG
Served by:
- NS.CNRI.RESTON.VA.US
        
          PYTHONLABS.ORG
- NS1.NIST.GOV
          129.6.13.2
          PYTHONLABS.ORG

*** NS.CNRI.RESTON.VA.US can't find pythonlabs.org: Non-existent 
host/domain

*** NS1.NIST.GOV can't find pythonlabs.org: Query refused

starship.python.net is something else...name service is up, traceroute 
from here (western Washington) gets lost in San Jose, CA
