Well... maybe it would be the David-needs-a-canoe fund; I'd have to sell
quite a few before I'd be thinking about the yacht (to sail my local
Connecticut River, I guess).

How serious does anyone else think the market for a Python boxed set
would be?  If some people such a thing would actually sell some copies,
I wouldn't mind putting some work into making nice covers for the box,
formatting the documentation nicely, and the like.  And presumably
giving most of the money to the PSF, especially if someone wanted to
give me a hand with the project.  FWIW, I -do- own a little consulting
corporation, which may mean something for business/tax purposes.

Yours, David...
