[Survey] Py Feedback

[Bryan Richard]

Two parts to this email (1) gather a bit of feedback on Py (2) inform
those who aren't aware of Py that it is out there. Py is a print zine
for Python, blah, blah, blah www.PyZine.com. Some people like it.

First, the first issue of Py has been out for a month or so. What's
right? What's wrong? Didn't buy it - why not?

Second, I've been in contact with distributors. The zine has been
received very well, and they feel there would be little problem in
getting it in Barnes & Noble, etc., once I fix one thing. The only
issue is the page count. The current # of pages is 16 and it needs to
be 40-60. At that size, we are talking about +10 articles + ads (if
possible) and a price hike. All and all, a considerable investment in
time and money on this side and a possible barrier to entry on your
side (higher price).  

Given all this, does anyone have an opinion on what the consumer
interest in a Python periodical might be? Keep it small; keep it on
the web?

My thinking has always been that Py, and subsequently, Python, would
reach more people if it were in a bookstore. Perhaps I'm wrong.

Be well,
