Ha!  Somebody miscalibrated the "detect Py-article"
threshold on the martellibot.

In December, Bob interviewed Guido <URL:

In September, a year earlier, the editors chose Python 
third, behind P*** and P**, as a "Web development 
language" <URL: http://
www.linux-mag.com/2000-09/edchoice_03.html >.  June
1999 included a "Whirlwind Tour" of Zope <URL:
http://www.linux-mag.com/1999-06/productreview_01.html >.
Last year's "Network Device Interrogation" includes a
brief mention of Python, and even a bit of code (I think;
or maybe that was cut before publication ...).  I'm
fairly sure I can find other examples.

*Linux Magazine France* has given good attention to
Python.
